Re: [PATCH] Show the current working directory in the proc title

[Lawrence Pit <lawrence.pit@gmail.com>]

The +after_fork+ doc mentions "generally there's no reason to start 
Unicorn as a priviledged user".

"generally" that may be true, I'd still recommend to run each app as a 
dedicated user.

The added bonus is that it makes it most obvious in ps(1) listings which 
app a unicorn process belongs to as 'user' is usually mentioned first. 
On small terminals the value of --config-file could easily be cut off at 
the right, still leaving you in the dark.
