Feature Request: Option to filter by process name

[Jay2k1]

We already have an option to filter out one or multiple PIDs. While this is useful for some processes (for example mysqld), it is useless for others who spawn a new process every time they do something. In my case, a

fatrace -cto fatrace.log -s 600
awk '{print $2}' fatrace.log | cut -d '(' -f 1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -h

shows sendmail and postfix as the top two process names, these spam the file but are irrelevant for my case. I'd love to be able to filter them out -- by name, because the PIDs keep changing.

Since the process name is known, I guess this can easily be done... :)
