Proctools provides the pgrep and pkill commands which can
scan for and send signals to processes that are matched by
command-line options.
The pgrep utility displays process IDs for those processes
that match the requirements specified on the command line.
The pkill utility sends a signal to process IDs for those
processes that match the requirements specified on the com-
mand line.
