[ I'm getting the Munchies !] A simpler way, instead of making a symbolic link, is to use a bug (feature ?) in "w". As only the process with the largest PID gets displayed in "w", start up "rogue", stop it, start up an innocuos "vi", stop that, and then bring the first job ,i.e., "rogue", into the foreground . "w" will then show only the "vi" process.
