NAME
       pslist -- control processes and their descendants

SYNOPSIS
       pslist [pid/name...]
       pslist -h | --help
       pslist -v | --version

       rkill [-SIG] pid/name...

       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  de-
       scendants, 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)

HISTORY
       The pslist utility was written by Peter Pentchev	in 2000.
