Hi, I didn't know about the c option in top. It's nice. Also, the modifications proposed by Gary would work, but are not what we would like to integrate in relax as a permanent modification... So there doesn't seem to exist an easy, simple and not hack-like solution... I thought this could have been quite easy with just one line tp add to the relax code... Quite naive... Thanks anyway guys ! Cheers Séb :) Gary Thompson wrote: Edward d'Auvergne wrote:Hi, I'm not sure if this is possible. However in certain versions of top you can type 'c' and you will then get the full command line version of the process. For example: PID PPID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR SWAP S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 5780 6092 edward 17 0 86240 11m 3016 72m R 95 0.6 0:01.90 python /home/edward/relax/relax-1.2/relax full_analysis.py Apart from this, I don't know what else can be done. Regards, EdwardHi I guess the problem here is to be able to spot the relax program amongst all the other python instances on you system (this can a real pain if you use gnome as the panel is all python based ;-)) Ah just read the message properly this is what you want! so here is a solution but not one we would want to apply to the relax distribution I guess ;-) 1. change to the relax directory 2. create a link to python which is in you path ln -s /usr/bin/python $HOME/bin/relax-python 3. edit the top of the relax python file at the top of the relax python distribution to point to the symbolic link you just created 4. happiness... (?): garyt 17117 18898 0 09:09 pts/1 00:00:00 relax-python ./relax now there are other methods to do this under unix / linux at a much more hacky level (basically if you change the string argv[0] this will change the name of you application) However, they appear to be horribly messy in all the versions i have seen so far (cf http://davyd.livejournal.com/166352.html) regards garyOn 9/2/07, Sebastien Morin <sebastien.morin.1@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hi, I would like to know if it would be possible to change the command name from 'python' to 'relax' ? I'm talking here about the command name we see when typing the command 'top' on Unix-like machines... Here's an example of how it is now (Gentoo Linux, top belonging to sys-process/procps-3.2.7) : PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 11684 semor 39 19 77844 72m 2484 R 96.5 8.2 1713:54 python And now an example of how it could be : PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 11684 semor 39 19 77844 72m 2484 R 96.5 8.2 1713:54 relax This would make it easier for people using a shared network. People not familiar with relax or people not even knowing about relax would then know more easily what process issued by their colleague takes so much of their CPUs. I don't know if I'm clear and also if this kind of modification is hard to make for the relax code... I'm just asking in case it's an easy task... Thanks !
