[Ken Lobb]

I'm probably missing something that needs to be configured, but I'm trying
to utilize uptime & vmstat and other performance/load utilities in Cygwin.
I installed the libprocps8 package, but none of these utilities can be
found.
Did I miss something?

Thank you,
Kenneth Lobb

libprocps8 (https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=x86_64%2Flibprocps8%2Flibprocps8-3.3.17-1&grep=libprocps8)
contains only a DLL (as its name suggests).

As Ken Brown wrote, you need
https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=x86_64%2Fprocps-ng%2Fprocps-ng-3.3.17-1&grep=procps-ng

and cygcheck is your friend to find the proper package:

$ cygcheck -p usr/bin/pkill
Found 7 matches for usr/bin/pkill
procps-ng-debuginfo-3.3.15-1 - ...
procps-ng-3.3.15-1 - procps-ng: System and process monitoring utilities
procps-ng-3.3.16-1 - procps-ng: System and process monitoring utilities
procps-ng-3.3.17-1 - procps-ng: System and process monitoring utilities
procps-3.2.8-5 - procps: System and process monitoring utilities ..

PS: procps-ng replaced procps

Great, thank you -- just what I needed to know.
Works fine now.
