I need a reliable way of uniquely identifying processes from run to run (or
boot to boot) that stays consistent and is understandable to my users.
Something like /System/Library/CoreServices/WindowServer is a pretty clear
and reliable reference if I can connect it with the WindowServer process
from its process id.
I don't know what other kind of reference I could use that would uniquely
identify a process in such a way that I can reliably identify it and
communicate to users what the reference refers to.
