create a new name while executing

Hi,
I need to run an executable with a different name. say there is 1 executable but 100 different instances running ..all with unique names .how do i achieve it since i need to check that i do not bring up more than 1 instance with the same name. for eg hello.out is the executable ..I want to bring it up as hello_1, hello_2 ....etc.
and have only 1 executable. When I do a ps-ef|grep hello from any other shell, I should be able to see all process running with hello name.
Thanks in advance
