动态修改进程名

ps -aux 查看nginx进程，可以根据进程名称知道其作用

root      56085  0.0  0.0  22480    64 ?        Ss   Apr11   0:00 nginx: master process /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -c /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf
nobody    56086  0.0  0.0  22916   268 ?        S    Apr11   0:00 nginx: worker process 

Linux系统中进程名称是保存在argv二位数组中的

int main(int argc, char **argv){

    printf("argv[0] %s\n", argv[0]);

}

我的进程名是flock，argv[0]的值就是./flock

[root@localhost exe]# ls -l
total 12
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 wjm wjm 10581 Apr 17 00:49 flock
[root@localhost exe]# 
[root@localhost exe]# 
[root@localhost exe]# ./flock 
argv[0] ./flock

只要将要修改的进程名赋值给argv[0]就可以了

int main(int argc, char **argv){


    printf("argv[0] %s\n", argv[0]);
    sprintf(argv[0], "%s: %s", argv[0], "worker process");

}

[root@localhost exe]# ps -aux |grep flock
Warning: bad syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See /usr/share/doc/procps-3.2.8/FAQ
root     117491  0.0  0.0  13896   976 pts/4    S    00:54   0:00 ./flock: worker process

argv使用的是栈空间，如果替换的名称太长，会覆盖其它变量的值
