Hi, I am using qemu-kvm version 1.1.2 (Debian prepackaged) with the -name option, however the process name shown by tools such as top still shows all the qemu processes as just "kvm" which is not very informative. Host kernel is Linux 3.2.0 (also Debian prepackaged) cat /proc/<pid>/cmdline shows that the -name option was used, but argv0 is still just the qemu-kvm program itself. The qemu man page says about the -name option "Also optionally set the top visible process name in Linux.", but no details are given as to when it will actually do that.
