`skill' is a program which sends signals to processes given
any combination of user names, ttys, commands, and pids. `snice' is a program which changes the priority of processes (given the same). PR: ports/3783 Submitted by: Joao Carlos Mendes Luis <jonny@mailhost.coppe.ufrj.br> (w/minor hacks by me)

+ `skill' is a program which sends signals to processes given
+any combination of user names, ttys, commands, and pids. `snice' is
+a program which changes the priority of processes (given the same).
+It's actually one program which examines argv to determine what action
+is to be taken on matching processes. It is similar to kill(1) and
+renice(8), however the command line is completely order independent.
+There are also verbose, search, and interactive modes of operation.
+
+The name `skill' stems from `SuperKILL', but if you use it under `csh',
+you may discover another reason for calling it `skill' (hint "s!!").
