I tried to get setproctitle() added a few years ago, but I got tired after a while and just implemented the ugly environ hack. If someone wants to continue, this is probably the last patch: http://lwn.net/Articles/365733/ Someone didn't like the prctl() way anyway and preferred a separate setproctitle() syscall.
