| |
| <i>Kill</i> prints commands that will cause all processes with <i>name</i> and |
| owned by the current user to be terminated. Each command is commented |
| with an output line from <a href="../man1/ps.html"><i>ps</i>(1)</a> describing the process that would |
| be killed. Use the <tt><font size=+1>send</font></tt> command of <a href="../man1/9term.html"><i>9term</i>(1)</a>, or pipe the output |
| of <i>kill</i> into <a href="../man1/rc.html"><i>rc</i>(1)</a> or <a href="../man1/sh.html"><i>sh</i>(1)</a> to execute the |
| commands. |
| <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table> |
| |
| <i>Kill</i> suggests sending a Unix <tt><font size=+1>TERM</font></tt> signal to the process; sending |
| a <tt><font size=+1>KILL</font></tt> signal is a surer, if heavy handed, kill, but is necessary |
| if the offending process is ignoring signals. The <i>slay</i> command |
| prints commands to do this. |
| <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table> |
| |
| <i>Stop</i> prints commands to pause execution of processes by sending |
| them the <tt><font size=+1>STOP</font></tt> signal. |
| <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table> |
| |
| <i>Start</i> prints commands to restart stopped processes by sending |
| them the <tt><font size=+1>CONT</font></tt> signal.<br> |
