Require a command to exec or a pid to target and update usage and the manpage to make this more clear. It makes no sense to invoke a procctl(2) command on the current process only to exit. Users are sometimes confused about how proccontrol works and think it effects their shell environment when invoked without a target. Disallowing this nonsensical behavior and clarifiying usage will hopefully reduce confusion.
