That's where the process name falls short as a generic solution.
However I'm under the impression that SBL was targetting a set of users
which might not be experienced enough to venture into screen (the
terminal multiplexer command) managed sessions. Same thing for remote
connections over ssh. Hence my suggestion to use screen (the actual
display) content matching pattern. And that is not full proof either if
you have split wondows under screen, but at that point you have to be
quite an experienced user and not really require application profiles.
