FELL 8/25/80 FELL NAME fell - fell a process tree SYNOPSIS fell [process-id] ^C MCR>FELL DESCRIPTION `fell' fells the process tree hanging from `process-id'. If no `process-id' is specified, the tree growing from the shell invoked from MCR is felled. In this latter case, the user will see termination messages of the subprocesses as they are felled, followed by the shell's prompt. 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 FELL command eliminates an extra MCR prompt which garbages up the screen. SEE ALSO AUTHOR fell was written by Joe Sventek -1-
