.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I Kill
|
|
prints commands that will cause all processes with
|
|
.I name
|
|
and owned by the current user to be terminated.
|
|
Each command is commented with an output line from
|
|
.MR ps (1)
|
|
describing the process that would be killed.
|
|
Use the
|
|
.B send
|
|
command of
|
|
.MR 9term (1) ,
|
|
or pipe the output of
|
|
.I kill
|
|
into
|
|
.MR rc (1)
|
|
or
|
|
.MR sh (1)
|
|
to execute the commands.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Kill
|
|
suggests sending a Unix
|
|
.B TERM
|
|
signal to the process;
|
|
sending a
|
|
.B KILL
|
|
signal is a surer, if heavy handed, kill,
|
|
but is necessary if the offending process is
|
|
ignoring signals.
|
|
The
|
|
.I slay
|
|
command prints commands to do this.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Stop
|
|
prints commands to pause execution of processes
|
|
by sending them the
|
|
.B STOP
|
|
signal.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Start
|
|
prints commands to restart stopped processes by sending them
|
|
the
|
|
.B CONT
|
|
signal.
