[R] Changing the name of the "R" process in top

[Joshua Wiley]

Hi Matt,

Not sure about renaming it but what about something like:

$ ps -aux | grep R

each process will have a unique PID that you can use to tell them
apart (possibly even the call that started it, but I am not presently
in a position to test and do not remember for certain).

HTH,

Josh
