If your application calls an env or other application to run it the the process
monitoring stuff in ldtp will not find it.

Steps to reproduce:
ldtp.getmemorystat('xchat') works as it is "/usr/bin/xchat" in the process
queue ldtp.getmemorystat('software-center') fails as it is "/usr/bin/python
/usr/bin/software-center".

Expected Results:
I expect to see results for both.
