- psmisc
- ======
-
- This package contains five little utilities that use the proc FS:
-
- fuser identifies processes using files or sockets (similar to Sun's
- or SGI's fuser)
- killall kills processes by name, e.g. killall -HUP named
- pidof like killall, buts lists PIDs instead of killing processes
- pstree shows the currently running processes as a tree
- peekfd shows the data travelling over a file descriptor
-
- They should work with most recent kernels. Man pages are included.

-
- src/loop.h was stolen from util-linux package which in turn stole it from
- the Linux kernel.
-
- Translations
- ------------
- My thanks for the various translators who have cheerfully given me the po
- files to make psmisc speak different languages. If your language is not
- supported then let me know, all it takes is translating one file in
- a certain manner.
-
- Icons
- -----
- The pstree icons were drawn by Tatlin at Coresis who has given permission
- for them to be used for psmisc.
-
- Copyright Change
- ----------------
-
- The license has changed to GPL for version 20 onwards with permission
- of the original authors. People who want to use these programs under
- the previous license will have to look at psmisc 19 or below.
