./sysutils/skill, Signal processes given user names, ttys, commands, or pids

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 4.1.4, Package name: skill-4.1.4, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

`skill' is a program which sends signals to processes given
any combination of user names, ttys, commands, and pids. `snice' is
a program which changes the priority of processes (given the same).
It's actually one program which examines argv to determine what action
is to be taken on matching processes. It is similar to kill(1) and
renice(8), however the command line is completely order independent.
There are also verbose, search, and interactive modes of operation.

The name `skill' stems from `SuperKILL', but if you use it under `csh',
you may discover another reason for calling it `skill' (hint "s!!").

I also reached out to upstream in the hopes that the 4.1.4 version source
archive could be made available there. The current upstream site no longer
exists. (It points to a web server that does not talk ftp, and the website
doesn't have skill mentioned.)

Log message:
sysutils: align variable assignments

pkglint -Wall -F --only aligned --only indent -r

Manually excluded consolekit and dc-tools since pkglint didn't get the
formatting correct.
