Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:16.0) Gecko/16.0 Firefox/16.0 SeaMonkey/2.13a1 ID:20120715003006 CSet: a52505700b63

Here too, I see the SeaMonkey executable process change name from seamonkey-bin to (ultimately) RunProcess, as in my earlier comment #12 and as Firefox did for ttaubert in comment #1. I just did the following while the above build (the one I use to type this comment, almost 3 days later than comment #17) was running:

linux:~ # echo $(pidof seamonkey)
14173
linux:~ # ps -l 14173
F S UID PID PPID C PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN TTY TIME CMD
4 S 0 14173 14171 27 80 0 - 481601 - ? 95:57 seamonkey -P default
linux:~ # ps -l --pid 14173
F S UID PID PPID C PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN TTY TIME CMD
4 S 0 14173 14171 27 80 0 - 481729 - ? 01:35:59 RunProcess
linux:~ # ps -lC seamonkey,RunProcess
F S UID PID PPID C PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN TTY TIME CMD
4 R 0 14173 14171 27 80 0 - 521555 - ? 01:36:39 RunProcess

Notice the difference depending on calling with one PID (and no selection switch) or with a (singleton) list of PIDs (--pid). When selecting by program name (-C) on both "seamonkey" and "RunProcess", only the latter appears. When selecting on only "-C seamonkey" (not shown) ps outputs only column headings, no processes.

The PPID points to the script which I use to start SeaMonkey with the correct profile and logfile, as follows:

linux:~ # ps -l 14171
F S UID PID PPID C PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN TTY TIME CMD
1 S 0 14171 1 0 80 0 - 3270 wait ? 0:00 /bin/bash /usr/local/bin/start-sm-all
linux:~ # cat /usr/local/bin/start-sm-all
#!/bin/bash
(date && seamonkey -P default) >> ~/seamonkey.log 2>&1 &
