Thanks for providing this, however there are several problems, some of 
which you outlined in your post.

The canonical way to do what you're suggesting is to copy the script so 
that you have one script per process you want to start, each with a 
different $name. That way you avoid a lot of the complexity that you've 
created, and everything works.


hth,
