Package: sysvinit-utils
Version: 2.87dsf-8.1
File: /sbin/killall5
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
More often than not I'm using pidof to get a list of PIDs for use
with strace. Sadly I always had to re-format the output, so that it
includes the "-p" part needed by strace.
Here's a patch to allow arbitrary output formats in pidof;
documentation included, but please check my english.
Please apply in the next version; thank you very much.
