Does it have to be an exec?
Perhaps something like this:
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
if (fork ()) {
strcpy (argv[0], "Fake name 00001");
setpgrp (); /* very important when dealing with stuff like this */
pause(); /* code for personality "Fake name 00001" */
return 0;
}
strcpy (argv[0], "Fake name 00002");
setpgrp ();
pause(); /* code for personality "Fake name 00002" */

}
this thing works - at least on my box...
But, of course, I could be mistaken, and I miss to see some other
important details. Good luck.
Dorin.
