FEL 8/25/80 FEL NAME fell - fell the process tree from the login shell SYNOPSIS ^C MCR>FEL DESCRIPTION fel fells the process tree hanging from the login shell. After the invocation of FEL, the user should see the termination messages of the subprocesses in the tree, followed by the shell's prompt. fel only works when the shell has been invoked with a SHL mcr command. If fel cannot find a shell with the correct name, it reports this fact with an error message. If the terminal is currently operating in half duplex and the bottom process in the tree is reading the terminal, the user may have to type an extra carriage return in order to cause the tree to topple. Using an escape as the terminator for the FEL command eliminates an extra MCR prompt which garbages up the screen.
