Hi,

think this can be done only in C language:
pstat(PSTAT_SETCMD, (union pstun),len,0,0);

Not sure if you can do that, but by using exec (man 2 exec) you can replace the current running process with a new one and thus change your process name as it appears in ps.

Im from Palmerston North, New Zealand, but somehow ended up in London...
