I do not think your assertion is correct. You see $0 is the name of the
parent program, and $1 ..$9 the name of the arguments to $0. You can
modify the arguments ($1 .. $9) but not $0. The only way you can modify $0
is to start a new program. If you could include a copy of your program,
being a
different process.

I'm trying to change the value of $0 in a perl script (so that it shows as
something I define in ps).
Directly modifying $0 works in linux, but on solaris it has no effect.
Is there another way to do this, or does solaris not allow it?
thanks
