[gentoo-user] sys-process/psmisc 23.2 broke

[John Covici]

Hi.  23.2 is broke and has a mandatory new format where you have to
put -s before the signal when using killall.  Killall is not finding
existing process even though I have the name correct.  Downgrading to
23.1-r1 fixes the problem.  I just thought I'd let people know.

The -s does not appear to be mandatory here, it still sends SIGTERM by
default. However, I have got a 'no process found' error with some
processes, which now require killall `which processname` to work.
