kill(1)
π kill(1) β send signals to processes, bestie π
okay so this is kill(1) from the General Commands Manual, and before you panic: no, it's not as violent as it sounds. it's just how Unix girls say "hey, process, i need to talk to you." π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
kill β Send signal to processes or list information about signals.
like literally that's the whole job. two moods: deliver a message or read the menu of possible messages. π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
kill [-l|--list] [-t|--table] [-s|--signal] [-h|--help] [-V|--version]
[pids_or_signals]
so the shape of it is: you either pass [pids_or_signals] (pids to poke, or signals to look at) or you don't and it just does its thing. every flag is optional, which is giving low-maintenance icon energy. π
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
Send signal to processes or list information about signals.
that's it. that's the whole vibe. you point it at a process and it delivers a signal, OR you ask it nicely and it tells you everything it knows about signals. main character of process management, fr fr. π
π OPTIONS π
-l,--listβ Lists signals. the "show me the menu" flag. π-t,--tableβ Lists table of signals. same info, but formatted as a table, because we love a lil structure. β¨-s,--signal <signal>β Sends given signal instead ofSIGTERM. so if you don't want the defaultSIGTERM, you slide a different one in here.<signal>is your placeholder, bestie, fill it in. π-h,--helpβ Print help. classic. always there for you. π-V,--versionβ Print version. for when you gotta know which build you're on. β
not me reminding you thatSIGTERMis the default when you don't pass-s. that's not extra info, that's literally in the docs. π
π VERSION π
v(uutils coreutils) 0.7.0
and that's the page!! you ate that π go forth and signal responsibly, bestie. this was kill (uutils coreutils) 0.7.0, and yeah β that's the version and the date line, folded into one cute lil goodbye. no cap. ππΈπ
