It means you can do

process.title = "mydaemon"

and it will show up as "mydaemon" instead of "node" in top.

That actually sounds pretty handy for those of us running more than one node process at a time. :)

Ohh sweet!

That actually sounds uber useful for what we are doing with nodejitsu.

We can start doing things a bit smarter then just : ps -ax | grep node

Really nice hack-fu on the process.title implementation for OSX!

[Marak Squires]

I take that back, title isn't changed on OSX when doing ps. hrmm

In osx it only changes the title in the activity manager.

Couldn't wait, updated homebrew formula and it has been merged.

It's not possible on OS X unfortunately. The only way you can achieve
something similar is to overwrite argv, but that is both über hacky
and limits the length of the title to the length of argv, so we
decided not to implement the hack but only the higher-level process
title, done with Launch Services (which in fact is also a hack. ha,
ha). Creds goes to the Chromium team for the Launch Services title
hack/setting (credited in the source and docs).
