Fedora Core 4 FEDORA-2005-540 Moderate Procps Update for System Tools

The procps package contains a set of system utilities that provide

system information. Procps includes ps, free, skill, snice, tload,

top, uptime, vmstat, w, and watch. 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.
