Hi Roel, Sorry that I wasn't more clear on the drawbacks of the 'proctitleutils'... The big BAD thing is that it messes up the argv and envp memory space. All environment variables are copied to the external 'environ' array... The command line arguments are not copied so they are gone... if they are not done so by the caller program. Something like: configFile = strndup(argv[2], strlen(argv[2])+1);
I found set_proc_title on the internet somewhere and modified it to suit my needs, so to tell you the truth I can't say how the sizelimit worked in the first version (patch version), i.e. the maxlen part. I've updated it to a new version which I understand and attached it. It now has a limit that is the size of argv and envp together.
