I think both of these solutions are undesirable, relying on the config
file path is not ideal and running with different users is practical
in my environment. Both these point out the need for some feature to
distinguish running applications, I think adding a configurable
application name/tag would be very useful, not sure how much work it
would be but I can look at adding a patch if there is interest.
