Process name for SQL6.5 (sqlexec.exe ??)

I have noticed that the process name for the SQL Server service on some
installation is called SQLexec.exe and others called SQLServr.exe. Both
cases are for 6.5 version. Which name is correct. Or it may be that there
is an external name for the service.
Thanks for any input.
MacHi Mac.
sqlserver.exe is the main sql server process. sqlexec.exe was the "SQL
Executive", which was the old name for what is now called "SQL Agent". Both
run as services under the Windows Service Control Manager.
