I would like to change the name of the ruby process that gets displayed in the linux/unix top command. I have tried the
$0='miname'
approach but it only works with the ps command and in top the process keeps getting displayed as "ruby"
Dave Thomas had an interesting post on doing this in rails. There's nothing rails specific about the actual process name change code. He uses the $0='name'
approach. When I followed his steps the name was changed in ps
and top
.
In the post he suggests using the c
keyboard command if your version of top doesn't show the short version of the command by default.
