another option would be to call setproctitle() only in the child
processes (or processes you're not supposed to kill), that's what
we do for sndiod to allow multiple instances to run allowing the
user to kill the right one:
$ ps ax |grep sndiod
14501 ?? Ssp 0:00.00 sndiod: helper (sndiod)
32743 ?? S<sp 0:00.00 sndiod -U1 -frsnd/0
288 ?? Ssp 0:00.00 sndiod: helper (sndiod)
23727 ?? S<sp 0:00.00 sndiod -z 120 -frsnd/1
Anyway, I'm very interested in what option you'll choose, to make
all daemons look the same in ps.
