%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 program - a better version was installed by the Util-linux package. Compile the package: make When using the boot method, two tests will fail if the hostname is not set. If you have booted the temporary system, and want to run the test suite, run the following command: hostname clfs If running the testsuite, first disable a test which fails when scripting does not use a tty device: 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 Installed directories free, pgrep, pidof, pkill, pmap, ps, pwdx, slabtop, sysctl, tload, top, uptime, vmstat, w, watch libprocps.{a,so} /usr/include/proc, /usr/share/doc/procps-ng-&procps-ng-version; 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 Reports the PIDs of the given programs 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 libprocps Contains the functions used by most programs in this package libprocps
