Change the ruby process name in top

Question

I would like to change the name of the ruby process that gets displayed in the linux/unix top command. I have tried the

$0=\'miname\'

approach

Answer 1

The $0 = 'Foo' method works -- but many versions of top will require you to toggle command-line mode on with 'c'. We this very method here with rails and CentOS. Works a treat
