Replacing python: in syslog log messages

[Brian Donovan]

Does anyone know a way to replace the python: in syslog messages?

As an example:

Currently I have:

Sep 5 16:57:03 typhoon python: jeeves_backup starting

I would like:

Sep 5 16:57:03 typhoon jeeves_backup: starting

Thanks

Brian

Very roughly: at startup, if os.path.basename(sys.argv[0]) == "python",
os.execl() sys.executable with [sys.argv[1]] + sys.argv[1:] as the argument
list.

Thanks
