Description Johan Heikkila 2013-06-15 12:37:36 UTC
Description of problem:
skill and snice command is missing from procps-ng package

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
procps-ng-3.3.3-4.20120807git.fc18.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install procps-ng
2. skill

Actual results:
bash: skill: command not found

Expected results:
Either that the command is found, removed from documentation or a note in documentation that the command is deprecated and which command to use instead.

Additional info:
By googling I found that skill and snice are no longer built by default. The only place where someone has noted it was on the arch mailing list. Anyway, a bit annoying that some scripts depending on skill stopped working.

Comment 1 Jaromír Cápík 2013-06-17 16:34:58 UTC
Hello Johan.

These were just accidentally forgotten, since the procps-ng build uses autotools and the commands need to be explicitly enabled in order to be built. I'm going to fix that in all supported Fedora releases.

Thanks a lot for the report.

Regards,
Jaromir.
