It is similar to kill(1) and +renice(8), however the command line is completely order independent. +There are also verbose, search, and interactive modes of operation. + +The name `skill' stems from `SuperKILL', but if you use it under `csh', +you may discover another reason for calling it `skill' (hint "s!!"). |
