Project Description

procps is a package of utilities which includes ps, vmstat, top, w, skill, snice, pgrep, pkill, free, sysctl, pmap, uptime, and kill. These utilities report what is running, who is logged in, how long the system has been running, and what is using up memory. They can be used to kill processes and change run-time kernel configuration values.

3.2.3

This release contains a new man page for ps. The shared
library name has changed. Running "make install" no longer
rebuilds everything. The STAT column now has an "l" to
mark multi-threaded processes.

3.1.15

This release supports the NSA's high-security SELinux on the 2.6.0 kernel, without any additional libraries required. Thread support no longer sets off chkrootkit on buggy 2.4.xx kernels (the PID 0 problem). Now "top" works on terminals with auto-margin problems.
