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.
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.
