# lua-proctitle
Set your process' name from Lua so that it shows up differently in programs like `ps` or `netstat`.
# Example
```lua
local proctitle = require 'proctitle'
proctitle 'new title'
```
# Motivation
Some programs will set the process title of their processes to reflect their roles. For
example, nginx sets its worker process' titles to indicate that they are worker processes.
I had the situation where I wanted [Prosody](http://prosody.im) listed as 'prosody' in
`netstat` output, so I wrote this little module.
# Portability
This depends on `__progname` from glibc, so this will only work if Lua is using GNU libc as
its C library. Patches adding support for other configurations are encouraged!
