Not what your hoping for, I'm afraid.  $0 is a special Perl variable in 
which the program "remembers" it's own name; the interchange program just 
sets it to something more meaningful than 'perl', and it looks like you can 
define an global variable MV_DOLLAR_ZERO in interchange.cfg if you want to 
give it a name of your own:

Variable MV_DOLLAR_ZERO  ic_shop

...and now if you do a ps the interchange process should show up as 
'ic_shop' instead of 'interchange'. UNTESTED.
