``
NAME
       pgrep,  pkill  -  look  up  or signal processes based on name and other
       attributes


SYNOPSIS
       pgrep [-flvx] [-d delimiter] [-n|-o] [-P ppid,...] [-g pgrp,...]
            [-s sid,...] [-u euid,...] [-U uid,...] [-G gid,...]
            [-t term,...] [pattern]

       pkill [-signal] [-fvx] [-n|-o] [-P ppid,...] [-g pgrp,...]
            [-s sid,...] [-u euid,...] [-U uid,...] [-G gid,...]
            [-t term,...] [pattern]


DESCRIPTION
       pgrep looks through the currently running processes and lists the  pro-
       cess  IDs which matches the selection criteria to stdout.  All the cri-
       teria have to match.  For example,

       pgrep -u root sshd

       will only list the processes called sshd AND owned  by  root.   On  the
       other hand,

       pgrep -u root,daemon

       will list the processes owned by root OR daemon.

       pkill  will send the specified signal (by default SIGTERM) to each pro-
       cess instead of listing them on stdout.
