what are some problems with quitting programs in the terminal you’ve run into? so far I have:

- not knowing how to quit vim (or some other program like nano etc)
- programs not responding to ctrl c
- a background program being killed when you close your shell

what am i missing?

@b0rk I used to get really confused by programs not exiting when i ran `kill $pid` (not knowing about kill -9 / not realizing that kill is "send a signal" more than "stop this thing", etc)

@eieio @b0rk It’s so obvious, though: KILL: “Kend It Le signaL”
