    Does it have to be an exec?
    Perhaps something like this:
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        if (fork ()) {
                strcpy (argv[0], "Fake name 00001");
                setpgrp (); /* very important when dealing with stuff like this */
                pause(); /* code for personality "Fake name 00001" */
                return 0;
        }
        strcpy (argv[0], "Fake name 00002");
        setpgrp ();
        pause(); /* code for personality "Fake name 00002" */

}
    this thing works - at least on my box...
    But, of course, I could be mistaken, and I miss to see some other
important details. Good luck.
    Dorin.
