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.
SEE ALSO¶
pgrep(1),
pkill(1)

pslist utility was written by
