setproctitle() is only implemented on BSD; other systems that emulate
this use a non-portable dangerous hack that makes certain assumptions
about how the process will be run.
Suspending until this situation changes.

Description:
------------
With linux it is sometimes useful to be able to change the process name
(by identifying a process in the system error logs or for debugging for
example)..
The c(++) or the perl way doesnt work in php as far as i tried, and so
i pressume that it is not possible itself.
You can consult yourself with
http://lightconsulting.com/~thalakan/process-title-notes.html
- an
extensive example of how the title should be changed
Reproduce code:
---------------
$argv[0] = "progname-debugval";
Expected result:
----------------
I expect that the programs process title would be changed by modifying
$argv[0], or by introducing a new function which would change the
process title respectively.
Actual result:
--------------
The process name in ps output of the respective program should change
accordingly to the change of $argv[0];
