Currently pgrep/pkill without -x/-f flags is matching based on the first 15 characters of /proc/<pid>/stat, which actually contains something like "1116878 (cat) R" thus matching the process id when it should just match on the name. This has probably come from misunderstanding the comment from manpage: > The process name used for matching is limited to the 15 characters > present in the output of /proc/pid/stat. ... which doesn't mean pgrep/pkill is literally matching on 15 characters of /proc/<pid>/stat but that the process name in that file is truncated to 15 characters. Fixes #307
procps
Rust reimplementation of the procps project
Provides command line and full screen utilities for browsing procfs, a "pseudo" file system dynamically generated by the kernel to provide information about the status of entries in its process table (such as whether the process is running, stopped, or a "zombie").
Ongoing:
free: Shows the amount of free and used memory in the system.pgrep: Searches for processes based on name and other attributes.pidof: Find the process ID of a running program.pidwait: Waits for a specific process to terminate.pmap: Displays the memory map of a process.ps: Displays information about active processes.pwdx: Shows the current working directory of a process.slabtop: Displays detailed kernel slab cache information in real time.snice: Changes the scheduling priority of a running process.top: Displays real-time information about system processes.w: Shows who is logged on and what they are doing.watch: Executes a program periodically, showing output fullscreen.
TODO:
hugetop: Report hugepage usage of processes and the system as a whole.pkill: Kills processes based on name and other attributes.skill: Sends a signal to processes based on criteria like user, terminal, etc.sysctl: Read or write kernel parameters at run-time.tload: Prints a graphical representation of system load average to the terminal.vmstat: Reports information about processes, memory, paging, block IO, traps, and CPU activity.
Elsewhere:
killis already implemented in https://github.com/uutils/coreutilsuptime: Shows how long the system has been running, including load average. is already implemented in https://github.com/uutils/coreutils
