NAME
|
kill, slay, broke – print commands to kill processes |
SYNOPSIS
|
kill name ... slay name ...
broke [ user ] |
DESCRIPTION
|
Kill prints commands that will cause all processes called name
and owned by the current user to be terminated. Use the send command
of rio(1), or pipe the output of kill into rc(1) to execute the
commands. Kill suggests sending a kill note to the process; the same message delivered to the process's ctl file (see proc(3)) is a surer, if heavy handed, kill, but is necessary if the offending process is ignoring notes. The slay command prints commands to do this.
Broke prints commands that will cause all processes in the Broken
state and owned by user (by default, the current user) to go away.
When a process dies because of an error caught by the system,
it may linger in the Broken state to allow examination with a
debugger. Executing the commands printed by broke lets the
system reclaim the resources used by the broken processes. |
