Controlling Processes
kill | Terminate a process (or send it a signal) |
nice | Invoke a program at a particular priority |
renice | Change a process’s priority as it runs |
Once processes are started, they can be stopped, restarted, killed, and reprioritized. We discussed some of these operations as handled by the shell in Job Control. Now we cover killing and reprioritizing.
