it doesn't look like this is really fixed now:

<pre>
# ps axfuww | grep git-annex | head -1
www-data  3277  0.1  0.5 704928 35804 ?        Sl   aoû07  11:11 /usr/lib/git-annex.linux/exe/git-annex --library-path /usr/lib/git-annex.linux//usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gconv:/usr/lib/git-annex.linux//usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/audit:/usr/lib/git-annex.linux//etc/ld.so.conf.d:/usr/lib/git-annex.linux//lib64:/usr/lib/git-annex.linux//usr/lib:/usr/lib/git-annex.linux//lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:/usr/lib/git-annex.linux//usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu: /usr/lib/git-annex.linux/shimmed/git-annex/git-annex assistant
</pre>

this is pretty nasty... ;) i use this stupid sed trick to remove some of the noise:

<pre>
# ps axfuww | sed -e 's/--library-path.*git-annex//'| grep annex | head -1
www-data  3277  0.1  0.5 704928 35804 ?        Sl   aoû07  11:11 /usr/lib/git-annex.linux/exe/git-annex  assistant
</pre>

still.. it would be nice to be able to have a cleaner process table, especially since it seems the standalone build is pretty much a must nowadays.

can we see what is the URL to that GHC bug report?

there seems to be an horrible, C-based hack documented here that could help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26657699/how-to-change-the-name-of-a-haskell-process-under-linux

thanks!
