Start a process with a name

问题

Basically I want to dynamically start some processes which may create their own children processes, also I want to kill a certain group of processes I just created whenever I want. One way I could think of is to start processes with a name(to distinguish as a group), then use pkill to kill them by the name. The question is how to start a process with a name so that I can use pkill to kill them by the name? I am open to other solutions as well.

How can I start a process with a different name?

bash -c "exec -a <MyProcessName> <Command>"

Then you can kill the process with:

pkill -f MyProcessName
