Fedora 38: FEDORA-2023-7e4b4f49c1 Important: Procps-ng Vulnerability Patch

The procps package contains a set of system utilities that provide

system information. Procps includes ps, free, skill, pkill, pgrep,

snice, tload, top, uptime, vmstat, pidof, pmap, slabtop, w, watch,

pwdx and pidwait.

The ps command displays a snapshot of running processes. The top command

provides a repetitive update of the statuses of running processes.

The free command displays the amounts of free and used memory on your

system. The skill command sends a terminate command (or another

specified signal) to a specified set of processes. The snice

command is used to change the scheduling priority of specified

processes. The tload command prints a graph of the current system

load average to a specified tty. The uptime command displays the

current time, how long the system has been running, how many users

are logged on, and system load averages for the past one, five,

and fifteen minutes. The w command displays a list of the users

who are currently logged on and what they are running. The watch

program watches a running program. The vmstat command displays

virtual memory statistics about processes, memory, paging, block

I/O, traps, and CPU activity. The pwdx command reports the current

working directory of a process or processes. The pidwait command

waits for processes of specified names.
