    Description

      For example:

      usr/bin/ProcMgr
      usr/bin/ServerMonitor
      usr/bin/WriteEngineServer
      

      Usually on Unix systems all commands are only in small caps. In addition, these binary names are very generic. Nothing in the name implies MariaDB or Column Store.

      How about naming them like

      usr/bin/mcol-procmgr
      usr/bin/mcol-servermon
      usr/bin/mcon-writeengineserverd
      

      These are just examples. I hope you get the hang of it.

      I was not able to find some standards document on how binaries are supposed to be named. I browsed quickly https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/lsb.shtml but found no guidelines there.
