Controlling Processes
open | Open any file in its default Mac application. |
| Terminate a process (or send it a signal). |
nice | Invoke a program at a particular priority. |
renice | Change a process’s priority as it runs. |
shutdown | Reboot or halt the computer. |
Once processes are started, they can be paused, restarted, terminated, and reprioritized. We discussed some of these operations as handled by the shell in Shell Job Control. Now we cover killing and reprioritizing.
