Name : procps-ng Product : Fedora 19 Version : 3.3.8 Release : 8.fc19 URL : https://sourceforge.net/projects/procps-ng/ 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 pwdx. 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: Avoiding screen restoration when exiting the 'top' tool & moving the cursor at the bottom of the terminal window (should work correctly when running the 'top' tool from the 'screen' manager). Protecting the 'top' tool from being flooded with SIGWINCH signals when resizing the terminal window (leading to many unwanted refreshes and unwanted changing of the values). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Tue Jul 2 2013 Jaromir Capik <[email protected]> - 3.3.8-8 - Extending the end-of-job patch disabling the screen content restoration * Mon Jul 1 2013 Jaromir Capik <[email protected]> - 3.3.8-7 - Disabling screen content restoration when exiting 'top' (#977561) - Enabling SIGWINCH flood prevention * Wed Jun 26 2013 Jaromir Capik <[email protected]> - 3.3.8-6 - Avoiding "write error" messages when piping to grep (#976199) * Wed Jun 26 2013 Jaromir Capik <[email protected]> - 3.3.8-5 - Disabling tests - unsuitable for running on buildsystems * Mon Jun 17 2013 Jaromir Capik <[email protected]> - 3.3.8-4 - Enabling skill and snice (#974752) * Wed Jun 12 2013 Jaromir Capik <[email protected]> - 3.3.8-3 - Adding major version in the libnuma soname * Thu May 30 2013 Jaromir Capik <[email protected]> - 3.3.8-2 - watch: enabling UTF-8 (#965867) * Wed May 29 2013 Jaromir Capik <[email protected]> - 3.3.8-1 - Update to 3.3.8 * Wed May 22 2013 Jaromir Capik <[email protected]> - 3.3.7-4 - top: inoculated against a window manager like 'screen' (#962022) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #977561 - 'top' clears screen on exit. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=977561 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
