I have a script which every 15 seconds displays the output of the
portupgrade process:

    root      76596  0.0  1.6 36092 32468  p2  I+    7:09PM   0:49.59 ruby18: portupgrade: [59/83] glib-2.10.3 (ruby18)

as

    7:09PM   0:49.59 ruby18: portupgrade: [59/83] glib-2.10.3 (ruby18)

This works fine, having a three line window with the upgrade status
is a great thing. Except for one thing: Sometimes the upgrade (in
a different desktop) is waiting for the "make config" confirmation.

Could it be possible to have some indication with regarding the
possibility of an interactive session (make config comes in mind,
scripts/pkg-install is a different one which is probably more
difficul to do that the make config one) in the process name, for
example:

    7:09PM   0:49.59 ruby18: portupgrade: (waiting) [59/83] glib-2.10.3 (ruby18)

Of course the process name should be changed afterwards when the
"make config" is finished.
