Hi,
One of the alternatives for completing the kill command is a list of
pids generated by the _pids function.
_pids calls the command 'ps' which just returns the child processes of
the shell.
I'd actually prefer to return all processes owened by the current user
(ps -u $LOGNAME on linux) and i get the impression there's a way to
configure the completion system to use a custom command for the ps call
or a custom set of arguments. However i can't figure out how to do this.
This question was asked in the list a few years ago, but no solution
using the new syntax.
Am i right in thinking this is posible? Or do i need to copy the entire
_pids function and hack it?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards
Sagar

Wherever the completion system runs a command like ps to generate
matches, it checks the `command' style so that you can specify a
replacement command. So pick your command and set the style:
e.g.:
zstyle ':completion:*:processes' command 'ps -o pid,s,nice,stime,args'
If you only want to affect the kill command then:
zstyle ':completion:*:kill:*:processes' command 'ps -o pid,s,nice,stime,args'
