Ubuntu :: Process Name Of Running Script Shows As Just "sh"

Under 9.10 I did the following: Added a custom application launcher to the panel which executes a script with the following command.

Code:

sh ~/Scripts/nvidia_freq.sh

The script contains the following code.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
while true; do
if on_ac_power; then

[code]...

This keeps my nvidia card at maximum speed. (this is pretty commonly known and used). Then to let the card go back to adaptive clocking I had another panel launcher which simply killed the associated process with the following command.

Code:

killall nvidia_freq.sh

and all worked as advertised. Under 10.04 it almost works except that I am unable to kill the process because its name is now listed as simply "sh" whether I use system-monitor, top, or ps to view it. And I can't "killall sh" because it is not the only process showing with that name. The only discernable difference between them is the PID # of the process, which my panel launcher icon has no way of knowing about.why the difference in behavior between Karmic and Lucid?
