.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm \&procctl
|
|
|
|
|
clears the
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr procfs 5
|
|
|
|
|
event mask used by
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr truss 1 .
|
|
|
|
|
This can be used in the event that a process is left stranded, since
|
|
|
|
|
the
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr procfs 5
|
|
|
|
|
events result in a non-killable process.
|
|
|
|
|
The options are a list of process ID's;
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm \&procctl
|
|
|
|
|
goes through the list and clears the event masks for each specified process.
