KILL



       This is a program designed to enable an operator or privileged user to 
     affect another process on the system without having to look up and use   
     the process PID.  The only requirement to execute this program is that   
     VAX FMS must be installed.                                               
                                                                              
       FMS is used to set up a screen where the current processes will be     
     displayed.  The operator may then use the arrow keys to "scroll" through 
     the processes and perform certain functions on the selected process.     
                                                                              
       The process data information includes:                                 

           USERNAME           TERMINAL                                        
           PROCESS NAME       ACCUMULATED CPU TIME                            
           PROCESS STATE      PROCESS AGE or CONNECT TIME                     
           PROCESS TYPE                                                       
                                                                              
       The functions currently implemented are:                               

           ABORT ==> Aborts the selected process                              
         MONITOR ==> Monitors the selected process with SHOW PROC/CONTINUOUS  
          TOPCPU ==> Displays the TOPCPU processes on the system              
                                                                              
       Other functions such as SUSPEND, RESUME and CHANGE PRIORITY can easily 
     be built into this program as well.                                      
                                                                              
       By default, all critical system processes will be filtered out and not 
     displayed.  This will avoid potentially aborting such processes.  There  
     are two arrays used for this purpose that should be modified for each    
     application.  One array lists the critical processes to be filtered      
     and the other lists usernames for which you want to override the         
     filtering procedure (i.e., users with SYSPRIV).
