pslist
—
control processes and their descendants
rrenice |
[+/-]pri pid/name... |
The pslist
utility examines the list of current
processes to find a specified process and all its descendants. A process may
be specified either by name or by process ID. If no arguments are given,
pslist
displays a list of the whole process tree. For
each process specified on the command line, pslist
outputs a line containing the process ID, the command name, and the PIDs of
all the descendants (and their descendants, etc.).
When invoked as rkill
, this utility does
not display information about the processes, but sends them all a signal
instead. If not specified on the command line, a terminate (SIGTERM) signal
is sent.
When invoked as rrenice
, this utility does
not display information about the processes, but attempts to set their nice
value instead.
The pslist
utility exits 0 on success,
and >0 if an error occurs.
The pslist
utility was written by Peter
Pentchev in 2000.
