<title>Installation of Psmisc</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Install Psmisc by running the following commands:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/ &&
|
|
make &&
|
|
make install</userinput></screen></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Psmisc installs the
|
|
<filename>/usr/share/man/man1/pidof.1</filename> man page, but Psmisc's
|
|
pidof program isn't installed by default. Generally this isn't a problem,
|
|
because we install the Sysvinit package later on which provides
|
|
a better pidof program.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>It's up to you now to decide if you are going to use the Sysvinit
|
|
package which provides a pidof program, or not. If you are going to, you
|
|
should remove Psmisc's pidof man page by running:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><screen><userinput>rm /usr/share/man/man1/pidof.1</userinput></screen></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you're not going to use Sysvinit, you should complete this
|
|
package's installation by creating the <filename>/bin/pidof</filename>
|
|
symlink by running:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><screen><userinput>ln -s killall /bin/pidof</userinput></screen></para>
