Feature Request: child process labels via ARGV[0]

Description

have forked child proccess indcate there status in ARGV[0], thus a better view of the current the state of things can be monitored more trivaly with ps ( like sendmail currently does ).

this can aid with "watchdog" monitoring also

I do not understand your proposal. Please explain.

changes to ARGV[0] are visible when you view the process table, this can make monitoring and debuging easier.

eg: with sendmail i see this on my process table:

  766  ??  SsJ    0:00.13 sendmail: accepting connections (sendmail)
 1051  ??  SJ     0:00.03 sendmail: server  conecting with somehost.com [10.3.232.159] startup (sendmail)
 1066  ??  SJ     0:00.01 sendmail: startup with [10.178.213.241] (sendmail)

thus I can see the status of things

I think this is a bit exotic and I prefer that status is fetched on the http interface
