Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Allow setting qemu process name

[Todd T. Fries]

Penned by Andi Kleen on 20090701 11:32.52, we have:
| 
| [this is a port of a old KVM userland patch I had; Avi back then suggested to 
| submit it to qemu]
| 
| Set the Linux process name to the name argument specified with "-name". I find
| this useful to see which guests are taking CPU time in top.
| 
| This doesn't affect ps, which checks argv[0], but rewriting the 
| environment uses much more code, so I only used this simple way.
