Re: Wheres the source code to GNU/Linux commands.

/bin/kill and /usr/bin/kill (The latter is a symbolic link to the first)
and
rpm -q -f /bin/kill
shows
util-linux-2.12-18
and
rpm -q -i util-linux
shows
Source RPM: util-linux-2.12-18.src.rpm

FC5 gives :-

rpm -q -f /bin/kill
util-linux-2.13-0.20.4

kernel.org ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/testing/

Shows only util-linux-2.13-pre7.tar.gz

Looks like kernel.org does not have cutting edge.

as for ps ...
rpm -q -f /bin/ps
shows
procps-3.2.0-1.1
and
rpm -q -i procps
shows
Source RPM: procps-3.2.0-1.1.src.rpm
while
http://procps.sourceforge.net/
(from a google search on "procps")
has a link to
http://procps.sourceforge.net/procps-3.2.7.tar.gz
which has skill (also use for kill), ps, top, etc. and a note about
it's "kill" (ln -f skill kill)

FC5 again :-

rpm -q -f /bin/ps
procps-3.2.6-3.5

# For example, you may prefer the /bin/kill from util-linux or bsdutils.
and you have the skill (kill) source code there.

I'll checkout FC6 tommorow as my FC6 systems offline at present.

Thanks,

Aaron
