NAME

6       pmsignal - send a signal to one or more processes
7

SYNOPSIS

9       $PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmsignal [-a|-l] [-n] [-s signal] [PID ...|name ...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       pmsignal  provides  a cross-platform event signalling mechanism for use
13       with tools from the Performance Co-Pilot toolkit.  It can  be  used  to
14       send  a  named  signal (only HUP, USR1, TERM, and KILL are accepted) to
15       one or more processes.  The processes are specified using  PID  or  the
16       binary name (with -a option).
17
18       If a signal is not specified, then the TERM signal will be sent.
19
20       On  Linux  and  UNIX platforms, pmsignal is a simple wrapper around the
21       kill(1) command.  On Windows, the is no direct equivalent to this mech‐
22       anism,  and  so  an  alternate mechanism has been implemented - this is
23       only honoured by PCP tools, however, not all Windows utilities.

PCP ENVIRONMENT

26       Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the
27       file  and  directory names used by PCP.  On each installation, the file
28       /etc/pcp.conf contains the  local  values  for  these  variables.   The
29       $PCP_CONF  variable may be used to specify an alternative configuration
30       file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
