The man page for setproctitle(3) notes that none of the ways to do
this are necessarily portable to other systems. That said, I have
a routine from a lambdaMOO program which patches the command string,
and apparently works on several different unix platforms. On the
other hand, I just recently patched that routine so it would "work
better" under FreeBSD, as what it was doing wasn't quite ideal. I
could point you at that if you're interested.
It does make sense that for any platform which DOES have a
setproctitle, you should use that instead of other tricks.
