I doubt that anything will be removed from current procps. There is, however, procps-ng which is a fork of original procps and it is maintained by Debian, Fedora and OpenSUSE. procps-ng 1.3.3 (I guess) still has kill fully functional. I do remember that Lennart complained about procps-ng and said that those utils should be merged in util-linux, but I am not sure if that's the case. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
