NAME
       lp - list processes

SYNOPSIS
       lp [options] prog ...

DESCRIPTION
       lp  prints the process id, username, command name and com-
       mand line of all prog processes.  Optionally the processes
       receive signal if the -k option is specified.

OPTIONS
       -b text
              prints text before each process line.

       -k signal
              send each process the signal signal.

       -q     supresses the normal output of process lines.  This
              is useful if you just want to  terminate  processes
              by   netuser.   Specifying  -q  twice  turns  error
              reporting trough stderr off.

       lp uses the cmdline files it finds in the proc(5) filesys-
       tem.  So lp doesn't list processes of prog that manipulate
       their command line like e.g. sendmail.

SEE ALSO
       fileuser(1), ps(1).
