Important release for Fedora Core 4 fixes a security vulnerability in psmisc tools; install immediately to protect your system.
Updated package.

Summary

The psmisc package contains utilities for managing processes on your

system: pstree, killall, and fuser. The pstree command displays a tree

structure of all of the running processes on your system. The killall

command sends a specified signal (SIGTERM if nothing is specified) to

processes identified by name. The fuser command identifies the PIDs of

processes that are using specified files or filesystems.
