The goal is not clear for me. You have some binaries, soffice.bin and oosplash,
and some script, soffice, that run on Linux, and similar names on other
platforms.

These names are important, they are displayed in different places and the
output of different commands, and people use these names to
change/stop/manipulate the process(es). Then, what is wrong here? A binary
executable can have some short name, and this is not strange.

Please provide an example to make it easier to understand the feature request.
Which program is doing something similar to your request? And in case of using
long, descriptive aliases, wouldn't it be harder to change/stop/manipulate the
process(es), without knowing the name of the actual binary file?

You may argue that we need to change the binary name to something like
'libreoffice', or even get rid of the soffice script (for example, because of
tdf#163863), but without these changes, I don't see any possible way to achieve
what you want.


We have window names that have clear, human readable names, and those should be
enough. In current form, unfortunately I can only recommend a wontfix.
