Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2015 18:30:43 +0900 (JST)

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

In GNU Emacs 25.0.50 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.23)
 of 2015-10-21

list-processes should show the process id. This is particularly important
for those processes not associated to a buffer: showing a column with
the PID greatly simplify killing those processes when they are not needed.

Thank you for your contribution.

However, wouldn't it be better to provide a key binding in the buffer
that shows the processes that would kill the process shown on the
current line?  A possible key could be "C-c C-\", for example.  This
sounds like an easier way than first looking up the PID, the killing
the process by PID.  WDYT?

Sure, i wish such functionality since long time ago.
It think a non GNU emacs library list-processes+.el, add
such functionality. I have never tried such library.
I will take a look when i have time, but
not sure if i will be skillfull enough.

`
I have realized that emacs25 already introduces a function
`process-menu-delete-process', deleting the processes at point,
and bind "d" to this function. Nice improvement!

Even if we can easily delete all the process, it would be natural
to show one column with the process IDs as i did in the patch.

This doesn't seem to be a bug at all, so it should have been applied
to master, not the release branch.  Am I missing something?

Thanks.
