|
2002-04-20 12:18:28 +00:00
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
2007-11-09 16:02:10 +00:00
|
|
|
utility kills processes selected by name, as opposed to the selection by PID
|
1995-06-25 18:08:27 +00:00
|
|
|
as done by
|
|
|
|
.Xr kill 1 .
|
|
|
|
By default, it will send a
|
|
|
|
.Dv TERM
|
2001-11-30 00:30:28 +00:00
|
|
|
signal to all processes with a real UID identical to the
|
1995-06-25 18:08:27 +00:00
|
|
|
caller of
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
that match the name
|
|
|
|
.Ar procname .
|
|
|
|
The super-user is allowed to kill any process.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
2007-11-09 16:02:10 +00:00
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Fl c Ar procname"
|
2000-12-19 16:00:12 +00:00
|
|
|
.It Fl d | v
|
2004-07-02 22:22:35 +00:00
|
|
|
Be more verbose about what will be done.
|
|
|
|
For a single
|
1995-06-25 18:08:27 +00:00
|
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
|
|
option, a list of the processes that will be sent the signal will be
|
|
|
|
printed, or a message indicating that no matching processes have been
|
2000-08-28 22:09:38 +00:00
|
|
|
found.
|

|
|
|
.It Fl e
|
2004-05-18 20:45:32 +00:00
|
|
|
Use the effective user ID instead of the (default) real user ID for matching
|
2004-01-26 11:11:36 +00:00
|
|
|
processes specified with the
|
|
|
|
.Fl u
|
|
|
|
option.
|
1995-06-25 18:08:27 +00:00
|
|
|
.It Fl help
|
|
|
|
Give a help on the command usage and exit.
|
|
|
|
.It Fl l
|
|
|
|
List the names of the available signals and exit, like in
|
|
|
|
.Xr kill 1 .
|
|
|
|
.It Fl m
|
|
|
|
Match the argument
|
|
|
|
.Ar procname
|
2004-01-18 17:51:34 +00:00
|
|
|
as a (case sensitive) regular expression against the names
|
2000-08-28 22:09:38 +00:00
|
|
|
of processes found.
|
2004-07-02 22:22:35 +00:00
|
|
|
CAUTION!
|
|
|
|
This is dangerous, a single dot will match any process
|
2001-11-30 00:30:28 +00:00
|
|
|
running under the real UID of the caller.

|
|
|
.It Fl s
|
1997-11-01 15:06:40 +00:00

|
|
|
.It Fl Ar SIGNAL
|
1995-06-25 18:08:27 +00:00
|
|
|
Send a different signal instead of the default
|
|
|
|
.Dv TERM .
|
|
|
|
The signal may be specified either as a name
|
2001-08-07 15:48:51 +00:00
|
|
|
(with or without a leading
|
2007-11-09 16:02:10 +00:00

Sending a signal to all processes with the given UID
|
1996-02-03 22:52:27 +00:00

is already supported by

2001-07-15 08:06:20 +00:00
|
|
|
.Xr kill 1 .
|
|
|
|
So use

|
|
|
.Xr kill 1
|
2007-11-09 16:02:10 +00:00

.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
|
|
This
|
|
|
|
.Fx
|
|
|
|
implementation of
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
has completely different semantics as compared to the traditional
|
|
|
|
.Ux
|
|
|
|
System V behavior of
|
|
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
|
|
The latter will kill all processes that the current user is able to
|
|
|
|
kill, and is intended to be used by the system shutdown process only.
