Maybe good. For example, "ps" does [kthread] for tasks with empty cmdline.

But, IIUC, a script like

%./myscript.sh

has cmdline as /bin/bash ./myscript.sh and "status" file includes "myscript.sh"
So, there may be 3 ways for specifing a task by name.

exe:/bin/bash         # full-path name of executable file (but can't handle 
scripts)
comm:myscript.sh      # name of executable file
cmdline:/bin/bash myscript.sh # cmdline

Then, having "exe" and "comm" is maybe good....maybe.
