On Ubuntu 18.04, I have a C++ compiled program MyServer. top -c shows the "command line" correctly as ./MyServer, but the "command name" with top is shown as "main".
I wanted to know how to get the command name to be MyServer.

It appears to be getting the command name from the main thread's name set by pthread_setname_np.

The answer is using knowledge that is not present in the question. If you could reformulate the question in such a way that this answer would have been possible to give without psychic powers, then it would be ok.– Kusalananda ♦Nov 16, 2019 at 13:10

@Kusalananda But I thought that being psychic was required in order to reach a certain rep on the site...– doneal24Nov 16, 2019 at 13:43
