Indeed, we have a bug open for this. https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/8040 I think using `setproctitle` to modify what appears on the system process list may be a better general solution (and it would let us do things like showing `obfsproxy: obfs3,scramblesuit` in the managed use case as well which I think is cute, if not massively useful. As an added bonus it is a general solution that's more futureproof. Regards, -- Yawning Angel
