SKILL(1) Linux User's Manual SKILL(1)NAME
skill, snice - send a signal or report process status
SYNOPSIS
skill [signal to send] [options] process selection criteria
snice [new priority] [options] process selection criteria
DESCRIPTION
These tools are probably obsolete and unportable. The command syntax is poorly defined. Consider using the killall, pkill, and pgrep com-
mands instead.
The default signal for skill is TERM. Use -l or -L to list available signals. Particularly useful signals include HUP, INT, KILL, STOP,
CONT, and 0. Alternate signals may be specified in three ways: -9 -SIGKILL -KILL.
The default priority for snice is +4. (snice +4 ...) Priority numbers range from +20 (slowest) to -20 (fastest). Negative priority num-
bers are restricted to administrative users.
GENERAL OPTIONS -f fast mode This is not currently useful.
-i interactive use You will be asked to approve each action.
-v verbose output Display information about selected processes.
-w warnings enabled This is not currently useful.
-n no action This only displays the process ID.
-V show version Displays version of program.
PROCESS SELECTION OPTIONS
Selection criteria can be: terminal, user, pid, command. The options below may be used to ensure correct interpretation. Do not blame
Albert for this interesting interface.
-t The next argument is a terminal (tty or pty).
-u The next argument is a username.
-p The next argument is a process ID number.
-c The next argument is a command name.
