Skill is a software that allows users to send signals to processes using different combinations of user names, ttys, and snice to alter the priority of running processes.
Both Skill and Snice have verbose, search, and interactive modes, making them highly versatile tools for any user. They are compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including FreeBSD, HP-UX, IBM AIX, Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Sequent Dynix, SunOS, and more, so you can use them without compatibility issues.
The latest version of Skill and Snice comes with important updates. For instance, the programs now act on each process only once, solving the issue that some systems had with returning the same Process ID multiple times. Also, support has been added for FreeBSD 6.2 and HP-UX 11.31, expanding the platforms that can benefit from these powerful tools.
Overall, Skill and Snice are must-have tools for any user who needs to manage running processes efficiently and without compatibility problems.
