I have a program, running under SR9.7 (I know, I know, but it's a 330 sat
at home, and boy, does the electricity company love me!). Said program
does a fork() at startup, and then the parent does the honourable thing
(i.e. exits), all because I'm too lazy to stick an '&' at the end of the
command line! ;-)
The problem is, when I do a pst, the child process shows up with just its
uid (dspst shows it as an 'unknown'). Is there any way of giving the process
a sensible name? (where *does* aegis keep it's process names?).
Cheers
Colin

You can probably turn this into a subroutine in your program if you want (of course there's a system call to do this but I don't recall what it's called, proc2_$xxx or something like that).
