skill sends signals to processes given any combination of user names, ttys, commands, and pids and snice changes the priority of processes (given the same).
They are similar to kill(1) and renice(8), but the commandline is order-independent. There are also verbose, search, and interactive modes of operation.
Both programs run under a variety of operating systems, including:
Apple Darwin 5.4
AT&T SysVR4, SysVR4.2, SysVR4.2MP
4.2BSD, 4.3BSD, 4.4BSD (and many PC variants)
