Subject: [ruby-talk:27360] Re: Programname in (un*x) top


This may not be quite what you're looking for, but if you include the
line:
#!/usr/bin/ruby
(or whatever the path is to ruby on your system) as the first line in
your script, and give your script execute permission, then you can run
the script by its name instead of "ruby scriptname" and you will see the
script name in "top".
