PROCCTL(8) BSD System Manager's Manual PROCCTL(8)NAMEprocctl — clear procfs event flags
SYNOPSISprocctl [-v] pid ...
DESCRIPTION
The procctl utility clears the procfs(5) event mask used by truss(1).
This can be used in the event that a process is left stranded, since the
procfs(5) events result in a non-killable process. The arguments are a
list of process IDs; procctl goes through the list and clears the event
masks for each specified process.
The options are as follows:
-v Verbose mode.

The procctl utility was written by Sean Eric Fagan for FreeBSD.
