that looks as if the entry defaults to the application name (argv[0]) > Similar features are available in Oracle: > > http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96612/d_appin2.htm and I definitely know from Oracle, that the application name is the default without the progammer / user issuing any SET command.
