.Nd kill processes by name
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm killall
|
|
.Op Fl d \&| Ns Fl v
|
|
.Op Fl h \&| Ns Fl \&?
|
|
.Op Fl help

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm Killall
|
|
kills processes selected by name, as opposed to the selection by pid
|
|
as done by
|
|
.Xr kill 1 .
|
|
By default, it will send a
|
|
.Dv TERM
|
|
signal to all processes with an effective UID identical to the
|
|
caller of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
that match the name
|
|
.Ar procname .
|
|
The super-user is allowed to kill any process.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 10n -offset indent
|
|
.It Fl d \&| Ns Fl v
|
|
Be more verbose about what will be done. For a single
|
|
.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
|
|
found. If the option
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
has been specified at least twice, the effective UID, PID, and name
|
|
of all processes found in
|
|
.Xr procfs 5
|
|
will be listed in addition.
|
|
.It Fl h \&| Ns Fl \&?
|
|
.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
|
|
as a (case insensitive) regular expression against the names
|
|
of processes found in
|
|
.Xr procfs 5 .
|
|
CAUTION! This is dangerous, a single dot will match any process
|
|
running under the effective UID of the caller. The regular expression
|
|
syntax in effect is that used by
|
|
.Xr perl 1 .
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Show only what would be done, but do net send any signal.
|
|
.It Fl SIGNAL
|
|
Send a different signal instead of the default
|
|
.Dv TERM .
|
|
The signal may be specified either as a name
|
|
.Pq with \&or without a leading Dv SIG ,
|
|
or numerically.
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
.Sh ALL PROCESSES
|
|
Sending a signal to all processes with uid
|
|
.Nm XYZ
|
|
is already supported by
|
|
.Xr kill 1 .
|
|
So use
|
|
.Xr kill 1
|
|
for this job (e.g. $ kill -TERM -1 or
|
|
as root $ echo kill -TERM -1 | su -m <user>)
|
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command will respond with a short usage message and exit with a status
|
|
of 2 in case of a command error. A status of 1 will be returned if
|
|
either no matching process has been found or not all processes have
|
|
been signalled successfully. Otherwise, a status of 0 will be
|
|
returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Diagnostic messages will only be printed if requested by
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
options.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command appeared in FreeBSD 2.1. It has been featured after the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command as available on other platforms.
|
|
.Sh AUTHOR
|
|
The program has been contributed by Wolfram Schneider, this manual
|
|
page has been written by
|
|
.if n Joerg Wunsch.
|

|
|
.\" .Sh BUGS
|
|
.\" Due to limitations in the current implementation of
|
|
.\" .Xr procfs 5 ,
|
|
.\" it is only possible to figure out the effective UID of a process.
|
|
.\" Hence it is impossible to find processes that run setuid, thus a
|
|
.\" regular user will not be able to use
|
|
.\" .Nm
|
|
.\" to send signals to such processes.
