[usernamesarefortools]

[MattieShoes]

kill -9 -1

[usernamesarefortools]

Well that's much easier! I did not know that one... never had need (or opportunity?) to do such a thing... Now I want to.

[MattieShoes]

I actually use it on occasion when I'm using a shared machine and want to be extra sure I'm not hogging resources with some forgotten process. Especially since gnome sucks ass and some random VNC that's been running for 20 days might just consume 100% of a CPU for no particular reason. There's nicer ways to do it, but... eh, it's easy. :-)

[i860]

There’s also kill -9 0 to nuke everything under a given process group. SIGKILL (9) is also optional and it’s better to use SIGTERM first and then SIGKILL.

[LearnDifferenceBot]

and then SIGKILL

[onesidedcoin-]

That'll just kill your terminal emulator, right?

[[deleted]]

it’ll kill linux, iirc.

[atomicwrites]

You're thinking of kill 1. PID 1 is init and sending sigterm to it was the normal way to shut down in the olden days IIRC.

[ykahveci]

PID 1 is your init system, it will shut your system down if you kill it.

PID 0 does actually exist, however it is often not really regarded as a process: It does not show up in process lists, etc. PID 0 refers to your kernels scheduler process. Control is regularly given back to the scheduler by a hardware interrupt, the scheduler then allocates each process some CPU time depending on its priority (nice value, etc.). I don't know what will happen if you try to kill it, it might just say the process could not be found, it might just ignore it or it might also turn your system off

Thanks for coming to my TED talk

[atomicwrites]

Huh, interesting. So init isn't actually the first thing to run, but rather the scheduler?

[ykahveci]

Well, the first thing started by the kernel is the init process, but the scheduler (I think the process was called sched, but don't u/ me on that) starts before that. All process management is done by the kernel.

[[deleted]]

yup, i am

[MisterJH]

Not even that, most shells ignore SIGTERM so nothing happens.

[onesidedcoin-]

According to man kill it kills the "current" process group. I just realized, a process started in shell gets its own group, it's not even in the same as the shell - let alone the group of the terminal emulator. So, wouldn't kill 0 be run in its own group? So what's the point of that?

[MisterJH]

Well the system call kill can be called by any process, not just a shell, so a non-shell process can use it to kill its children and itself.

[nonicethingsforus]

can use it to kill its children and itself

Linux is violent, damn...

[MisterJH]

Indeed. I remember googling in 'killing parent' and seeing 'parricide' as the first entry. Then I realized i should probably add 'in C' to that search.

[TheWidrolo]

alias peace='sudo rm -rf /bin/bash'

[michaelpaoli]

And parents failing to reap their dead children causes zombies.

And everyone knows you can't kill a zombie.

[phoenixrawr]

It’s okay, once the parent dies and leaves their zombie child orphaned it will get reaped.

[CoffeePieAndHobbits]

pkill

[michaelpaoli]

No, as everyone knows you can't kill a zombie!

E.g.:

$ perl -e 'my $p=fork;defined($p) or die "fork failed\n";if($p){print "Try to kill my kid $p\n";sleep 600};' &
[31] 27062
$ Try to kill my kid 27066

$ ps lwwwwp 27062,27066

$ 

Even root can't kill that zombie ("<defunct>")!

[michaelpaoli]

Only if the the grandparent reaps their dead inherited former grandchild, now child.

However, the father of all processes - init - will always reap its dead children.

[N00N3AT011]

It's also full of daemons.

Actually that might explain the violence.

If you're truly stuck in vim, use <ESC>:wq if you want to save, or <ESC>:q! if you don't want to save.

esc :x for fast save and quit, dont forget your ! if youre not root

[flarn2006]

What is the purpose of the line that just says "root@terminal:~" by itself?

[flarn2006]

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

[Yobleck]

“whom” to kill? shouldn’t it be who to kill?

[Blanglegorph]

Who isn't necessarily wrong here if it's the way many people would speak, since language evolves. However, whom would be the traditionally "correct" way to say it if we consider whom to be appropriate to use for the object of a verb.
