        Hi

  Solaris and Linux has an übercool tool called pgrep(/pkill). It
is used to fetch information of running processes, and can be used, for
example, to kill all processes of a specific user. Tru64 doesn't have
this, and it is a pretty annoying flaw in it. It uses procfs, and
Tru64 has it although probably not as feature-filled as Solaris or Linux.

So, has anyone tried to port it to Tru64, or is it even possible? Or has
anyone made a shell/perl-script to do the same job?

P.S. hint to Hompaq engineering - pgrep/pkill would be an kickass feature =)
