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. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = g...@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or dro...@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
