`skill' is a program which sends signals to processes given
|
||
|
|
any combination of user names, ttys, commands, and pids. `snice' is
|
||
|
|
a program which changes the priority of processes (given the same).
|
||
|
|
It's actually one program which examines argv to determine what action
|
||
|
|
is to be taken on matching processes. It is similar to kill(1) and
|
||
|
|
renice(8), however the command line is completely order independent.
|
||
|
|
There are also verbose, search, and interactive modes of operation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The name `skill' stems from `SuperKILL', but if you use it under `csh',
|
||
|
|
you may discover another reason for calling it `skill' (hint "s!!").
