Summary: change process name to differntiate the threads

Initial Comment:
Hi!

Since long I am unhappy that it is not possible to identify openser's thread (which thread is doing what?).

I made a little patch which rewrites the argv[0] to reflect the usage of the process.

without patch:
5 S root     14133     1   /usr/sbin/openser 
1 S root     14134 14133   /usr/sbin/openser             
1 S root     14135 14133   /usr/sbin/openser            
1 S root     14136 14133   /usr/sbin/openser            
1 S root     14137 14133   /usr/sbin/openser            
1 S root     14138 14133   /usr/sbin/openser            
1 S root     14139 14133   /usr/sbin/openser 
1 S root     14140 14133   /usr/sbin/openser            
1 S root     14141 14133   /usr/sbin/openser            
1 S root     14142 14133   /usr/sbin/openser            
1 S root     14143 14133   /usr/sbin/openser            
1 S root     14144 14133   /usr/sbin/openser 


with patch:
5 S root     14133     1   /usr/sbin/openser 
1 S root     14134 14133    fifo             
1 S root     14135 14133    udp 0            
1 S root     14136 14133    udp 1            
1 S root     14137 14133    udp 2            
1 S root     14138 14133    udp 3            
1 S root     14139 14133   /usr/sbin/openser 
1 S root     14140 14133    tcp 0            
1 S root     14141 14133    tcp 1            
1 S root     14142 14133    tcp 2            
1 S root     14143 14133    tcp 3            
1 S root     14144 14133   /usr/sbin/openser 

apperently I missed some forks :-)

Klaus,

if you change the argv[0] you will not be able to use a killall command
:), or to do a ps and grep to see all openser processes. Have you
considered a possiility to insert your info but without altering argv[0].
Maybe using other argv[] or appending a new one?

regards,
bogdan
