% pgrep <something> [to verify which processes match]
% pkill <something>
To speed such operation up, add -I option which works like rm(1)'s -i
option (unfortunately -i is already used in pkill(1)), ie. pkill will
ask for confirmation before killing each matching process.
After adding -j, -F, -i, -S, -o and -L options and other improvements,
I think I can add myself to the copyright header.

processes.
This option can be also found in Solaris and Linux.
- Use timercmp(9) macro for timeval comparsion.
- Include time.h directly, don't depend on stat.h doing it for us.

- Rename IS_KERNPROC() macro to PSKIP() and extend its functionality.
Now it'll skip calling process and system processes when -S is not given.
As a side effect it fixes '-n' option. Before it was always matching
calling process (because of missing 'if (kp->ki_pid == mypid)' check)
and after that, calling process was ignored.
- When '-l' option is given and there are no arguments, use p_comm as an
arguments list (this is helpful for kernel threads matching).

-M Extract values associated with the name list from the
specified core instead of the default /dev/kmem.
-N Extract the name list from the specified system instead
of the default /kernel.

These will probably require a few updates before they are added to
the FreeBSD buildworld. I might MFC these to 4.x-stable after 4.10.
