%general-entities; ]> Psmisc Prepare Psmisc for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix="" --exec-prefix="" This ensures that the Psmisc binaries will install into /bin instead of /usr/bin. This is the correct location according to the FHS, because some of the Psmisc binaries are used by Systemd. Compile the package: make This package does not come with a test suite. Install the package: make install There is no reason for the pstree and pstree.x11 programs to reside in /bin. Therefore, move them to /usr/bin: mv -v /bin/pstree* /usr/bin Installed programs fuser, killall, peekfd, prtstat, pstree, and pstree.x11 (link to pstree) Short Descriptions fuser Reports the Process IDs (PIDs) of processes that use the given files or file systems fuser killall Kills processes by name; it sends a signal to all processes running any of the given commands killall peekfd Peeks at file descriptors of running processes peekfd prtstat Prints information about a process prtstat pstree Displays running processes as a tree pstree pstree.x11 Same as pstree, except that it waits for confirmation before exiting pstree.x11
