psmisc, version 16
==================

This package contains four little utilities that use the proc FS:

  fuser     identifies processes using files (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

They should work with most recent kernels. Man pages are included.
