Oh, so both of those are available there? Are they more or less compatible with the psmisc versions? I ask, having been burned previously by a problem alluded to in the man page, where it says "Be warned that typing killall name may not have the desired effect on non-Linux systems, especially when done by a privileged user." A very understated way of saying that on such systems, killall ignores parameters, and kills every process it can. :( Simon.
