NAME¶
pslist —
control processes and their descendants
SYNOPSIS¶
rrenice |
[+/-]pri pid/name... |
DESCRIPTION¶
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.
RETURN VALUES¶
The pslist utility exits 0 on success,
and >0 if an error occurs.
HISTORY¶
The pslist utility was written by
Peter Pentchev in 2000.
