Custom executable name

When a Java application uses Equo Chromium, it starts a separate native Chromium subprocess. By default, this subprocess has the generic name equochro_helper. However, in some cases you may want to customize how the Chromium subprocess appears in your system’s task manager or monitoring tools. This is useful if, for instance, there are multiple instances of Chromium running simultaneously. Equo Chromium provides a system property that lets you define a custom name for the Chromium subprocess.

Setting a custom executable name

To specify a custom name for the Chromium subprocess, use the following Java system property:

-Dchromium.executable.name=MyAppProcess

Replace MyAppProcess with the name you’d like the operating system to display for the Chromium subprocess associated with your application.

  • You must this property before you create any browser instance. Otherwise, the default executable name will be used and cannot be changed afterward.

This feature is available as of version ´124.0.8´.
