Thanks.

This should be a complete sentence, e.g.,
Psmisc is a set of small utilities…

I suggest to remove the dashes, and probably add semicolons at the end
of all but last item:
@item @command{fuser} identifies processes using files or sockets;
I suggest to add a comma after "e.g.", so Texinfo cannot consider it to
be the end of a sentence:
@item @command{killall} kills processes by name, e.g., @samp{killall -HUP
@var{name}};
Actually, I even wonder if providing an example if worth being in
a generic description. I probably belongs to a user manual:
@item @command{killall} kills processes by name;
