- and in this great operating system, unix, there shall be a system call named "kill"

- people will use it to kill processes?

- if only it was that simple.

@regehr kill -WAZZZZZZUP ...

@regehr
suspiciously unix shaped mob boss: we gotta kill him; it’s about sendin a message

@ezhes_ @regehr `nice` process you got here

@ezhes_ @regehr sending a message? What are we, the POSIX layer of Darwin over Mach?

@ezhes_ @regehr "I'm going to SIG him a TERM he cannot refuse"

@regehr and there will be a program called top, alongside atop, btop, htop, and a top for every letter of the alphabet.

What is the difference between them?

Nobody knows.

@vmiheer @j2kun @regehr all the way to zztop

@j2kun @regehr There are also two-letter tops, all the way to zztop.

@regehr # killall -9 `ps -a -x | grep GOP | awk '{ printf("%d ",$1) }'
