It is "run" or "envoked" on-demand by sendmail to execute the line in the
alias file; you'll only see it in ps when actually running.
the procmail man file states

without backward references (i.e. the parent directory cannot be mentioned)
procmail will, only if no security violations are found, take on the
identity of the owner of the rcfile (or symbolic link). [...]
[that path may change in different versions of procmail]
That last sentence is important- check the ownership of /etc/procmailrc, I'm
betting it's "baron"; that can happen easily when editing.
