Name : procps Product : Fedora 12 Version : 3.2.8 Release : 3.fc12 URL : http://procps.sourceforge.net Summary : System and process monitoring utilities Description : The procps package contains a set of system utilities that provide system information. Procps includes ps, free, skill, pkill, pgrep, snice, tload, top, uptime, vmstat, w, watch and pdwx. The ps command displays a snapshot of running processes. The top command provides a repetitive update of the statuses of running processes. The free command displays the amounts of free and used memory on your system. The skill command sends a terminate command (or another specified signal) to a specified set of processes. The snice command is used to change the scheduling priority of specified processes. The tload command prints a graph of the current system load average to a specified tty. The uptime command displays the current time, how long the system has been running, how many users are logged on, and system load averages for the past one, five, and fifteen minutes. The w command displays a list of the users who are currently logged on and what they are running. The watch program watches a running program. The vmstat command displays virtual memory statistics about processes, memory, paging, block I/O, traps, and CPU activity. The pwdx command reports the current working directory of a process or processes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: the change is this: we don't trap the SIGABRT and SIGSEGV, so core file can be generated when ps faults (better diagnostics this way) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Nov 16 2009 Daniel Novotny <[email protected]> 3.2.8-3 - patch for enabling core file generation (we don't trap the signal anymore) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program. Use su -c 'yum update procps' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/. All packages are signed with the Fedora Project GPG key.
