That probably doesn't work under Linux, or maybe it would affect the output of `ps a'. But `ps a' already reports a more useful result, so that may be the immediate answer, Greg. Probably there's a way to make `top' show the same information as `ps a'. To change the name shown by `ps', it looks like Racket could call prctl() with PR_SET_NAME --- at least for Linux (2.6.9 and up). I'll look into that more. _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users
