1. You can pass any dummy argument to the JVM in order to do things like ps | grep if you just want to look for your process in the process table. Is there some compelling reason to replace "java" with "foo" in the process table? Example: CATALINA_OPTS=" .... -DmySearchString ..." "$CATALINA_BASE/bin/startup.sh" Then you can do "ps | grep mySearchString" and find it. 2. This will only work for bash, not for other shells. In order for any patch to be accepted, you'll have to include a test to determine whether bash is the current shell. -chris
