Great, piro! I'm taking a look at it, and it seems to use setproctitle() in BSD, and writes over the argv array "in most Sys-V like systems"; this includes Linux? My question is because I think there's a better and supported method for Linux, that is, using prctl [1]. I read somewhere that changing argv causes some inconsistencies between programs who read /sys files, /proc files... or I don't remember what, but it is, in fact, not the *recommended* way. Prctl is. :-) PR_SET_NAME and PR_GET_NAME parameters in prctl.h: [1] http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man2/prctl.2.html Could this module be altered to use a prctl call in Linux (>2.6.9)? Thanks a lot. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5672> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
