Why not?

If you put kfind to be symbolic link to kinit and you start kfind, ps show
you "kfind", not "kinit: something". So you end up with correct name in the
ps listing.

Do I understand "ps" problem correctly or we are talking about different
things?

As for am_edit, if we want to use the idea it should be changed some how :).
