[Tutor] application name of a process

[D-Man]

If you're talking about the name of the running process, sys.argv[0] would do it.

If you're talking about other processes,  I don't know.  Check the source for 'ps' ;-).  You can probably get it out of /proc if you're on a Linux (I don't know about other unices) system.
