%general-entities; ]> Procps-ng Prepare procps-ng for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix= \ --libdir=/usr/lib --docdir=/usr/share/doc/procps-ng-&procps-ng-version; \ --disable-kill --disable-kill This switch disables building the kill command that was installed in the util-linux package. Compile the package: make Remove the test which fails when scripting does not use a tty device. Run the following commands: sed -i -r 's|(pmap_initname)\\\$|\1|' testsuite/pmap.test/pmap.exp make check Install the package: make install Move essential files to a location that can be found if /usr is not mounted. mv -v /usr/bin/pidof /bin mv -v /usr/lib/libprocps.so.* /lib ln -sfv ../../lib/$(readlink /usr/lib/libprocps.so) /usr/lib/libprocps.so Installed programs Installed library free, pgrep, pidof, pkill, pmap, ps, pwdx, slabtop, sysctl, tload, top, uptime, vmstat, w, and watch libproc.{a,so} Short Descriptions free Reports the amount of free and used memory (both physical and swap memory) in the system free pgrep Looks up processes based on their name and other attributes pgrep pidof Looks up processes based on their name and other attributes pidof pkill Signals processes based on their name and other attributes pkill pmap Reports the memory map of the given process pmap ps Lists the current running processes ps pwdx Reports the current working directory of a process pwdx slabtop Displays detailed kernel slab cache information in real time slabtop sysctl Modifies kernel parameters at run time sysctl tload Prints a graph of the current system load average tload top Displays a list of the most CPU intensive processes; it provides an ongoing look at processor activity in real time top uptime Reports how long the system has been running, how many users are logged on, and the system load averages uptime vmstat Reports virtual memory statistics, giving information about processes, memory, paging, block Input/Output (IO), traps, and CPU activity vmstat w Shows which users are currently logged on, where, and since when w watch Runs a given command repeatedly, displaying the first screen-full of its output; this allows a user to watch the output change over time watch libproc Contains the functions used by most programs in this package libproc
