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.
