From 9b87ef87df4fef2dd6f1ed31c874745f5fecc954 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mason Malone Date: Thu, 8 Apr 2021 21:21:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Fix " force quit a program" to send SIGKILL Running `killall program_name` sends a SIGTERM signal, which a program is free to ignore: > The sig argument is the value specified by the -s option, - signal_number option, or the - signal_name option, or by SIGTERM, if none of these options is specified. https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/kill.html To send a SIGKILL signal, you need to use `killall -9` or `killall -KILL`, which cannot be ignored. --- readme.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/readme.md b/readme.md index 271a778..1730078 100644 --- a/readme.md +++ b/readme.md @@ -309,7 +309,7 @@ $ bc **STOP CTRL + ALT + DELETE and choose the program to kill** :-1: ```shell -$ killall program_name +$ killall -9 program_name ``` ## check server response
