Missing function cli_set_process_title

[karpa13a]

example from http://php.net/manual/en/function.cli-set-process-title.php

<?php
$title = "My Amazing PHP Script";
$pid = getmypid(); // you can use this to see your process title in ps

if (!cli_set_process_title($title)) {
    echo "Unable to set process title for PID $pid...\n";
    exit(1);
} else {
    echo "The process title '$title' for PID $pid has been set for your process!\n";
    sleep(10);
}
?>

produces:

karp@karp:/tmp$ php 1.php
Fatal error: Call to undefined function cli_set_process_title() in /tmp/1.php on line 5

Behaviour diff is probably not the best description. It simply isn't implemented.

+1 for this feature

[Orvid]

For whoever decides to implement this, PHP appears to implement it based on a bit extracted from PostgreSQL here.

It would be really nice to have this feature, because when hhvm crashes and we restart HHVM, it kills all the pidof hhvm processes. Which also include the CLI daemons. If this is implemented, we will be able to rename those processes and save them from being killed.

+1 . We have 5 hhvm instances (services); We want to see how is going each instance. Like. "hhvm-service-user-on-16654"

Looks like PHP has several implementations of this but it shouldn't be a hard function to add to hhvm.

this should only run using cli "terminal" as the function name imply so you can't test if from browser php file_name.php and execute the content of files
