Display command name for programs written in interpreted languages (e.g., Python)

[polkorny]

Hi,

When running a program that is written in Python, nethogs shows the interpreter (/usr/bin/python3) instead of the actual command name. This makes it difficult to identify which program is using the network.

Example:

If I run an installed application like speedtest-cli (which is a Python program):

• Actual output: nethogs displays the process as /usr/bin/python3.
• Expected output: nethogs would display the process as speedtest-cli

This is a long-standing issue, originally reported on the Debian bug tracker here:

Thanks.
