One of the questions was answered. The other's answer is:
A process name parenthesized by 'ps' means that is the name that will
be entered into system accounting.
Thus, an exec like:
execl (name, arg0, arg1, arg2, ..., 0);
would have the command 'name' stripped of path entered into system
accounting, irregardless of arg0 which a program could check and interpret
to be the name it was invoked as.
