.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBpgrep\fP looks through the currently running processes and lists the
process IDs which matches the selection criteria to stdout. All
the criteria have to match. For example,
pgrep -u root sshd
.IP
$ pgrep \-u root sshd
.PP
will only list the processes called \fBsshd\fP AND owned by \fBroot\fP.
On the other hand,
pgrep -u root,daemon
.IP
$ pgrep \-u root,daemon
.PP
will list the processes owned by \fBroot\fP OR \fBdaemon\fP.
\fBpkill\fP will send the specified signal (by default \fBSIGTERM\fP)

.SH EXAMPLES
Example 1: Find the process ID of the \fBnamed\fP daemon:
unix$ pgrep \-u root named
.IP
$ pgrep \-u root named
.PP
Example 2: Make \fBsyslog\fP reread its configuration file:
unix$ pkill \-HUP syslogd

Example 3: Give detailed information on all \fBxterm\fP processes:
unix$ ps \-fp $(pgrep \-d, \-x xterm)
