This is a Cygwin specific bugfix release which solves two potential crashes in pstree. 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. The Cygwin release has a couple of patches applied to get the tools running. Mainly all TCP and UDP search facilities in fuser have been disabled. pstree uses ASCII art automatically when TERM=cygwin. Be aware that these tools use /proc to collect information, so they don't interact with native Windows processes. Note that I just added this package for fun. In its current state it doesn't build OOTB, but needs a Makefile tweak. If you want to build it from source, use the following configure command: ./configure \ --prefix=/usr \ --datadir=$(prefix)/share \ --mandir=$(prefix)/share/man \ --without-libiconv-prefix \ --without-libintl-prefix then edit the "LIBS=" line in src/Makefile and set it to LIBS = -liconv -lintl That's it. Have fun. To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
