Re: Killed wrong proc!

The first item in the line is generally PID, so that might not work.

I'm using exclude=syslogd for now, but that is only valid in this special 
case.   Too bad /proc's if the world are all so nonstandard or we could just 
mine that and get stuff very safely.... (knowing that an arg0 is certainly an 
arg0, f'rinstance)
