Hi,
I know that you can see a pid and it's complete command line, but is
there the concept of "name"?
For example, in OpenVMS, you can do:
$ SET PROCESS/NAME=SOMEUNIQUENAME
Then in SHOW SYSTEM (similar to "ps aux") you'll see a line with a
pid and the text SOMEUNIQUENAME. Also, no other process can have
the same name, thus performing a similar function as lock files.
Or, since fork() is so integral to Unix and processes keep flitting
in an out of existence, is "name" not a relevant concept?
Thanks
