CWNNKILL(8)

💖 CWNNKILL(8) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about cwnnkill from the System Manager's Manual — yes it's a section 8 page, yes that means sysadmin business, yes we're still gonna make it cute. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

cwnnkill — the girl whose whole job is terminating the cserver. that's it. that's the job. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

cwnnkill [-L lang ] [ hostname ]

🦋 DEFAULT PATH 🦋

/usr/local/bin/cWnn4/cwnnkill

she lives there. that's her address. no cap. 💜

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

So. The vibe is simple: cwnnkill terminates the cserver. that's the whole plot. 🫶

If you hand her a hostname, then the cserver over at that specified host is the one getting terminated. bye bestie! 👋

If you give her no hostname at all? Then cwnnkill goes and terminates the cserver of UNIX_domain. And which one is that, you ask? It's the cserver specified in the environment variable CSERVER. And if that environment variable isn't specified either?? Then cwnnkill just terminates the cserver of the local machine. home turf. iconic. 🏠

⚠️ okay this part matters: if some other front-end processors are still using the cserver you're trying to kill, then the current usage condition of the cserver will be shown, and termination will fail. she's not gonna yank it out from under them. respect. 😭

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -L — lets you specify the language name, which gets referred to during selection of the cserver. if no lang is specified, the one specified by the environment variable LANG is used instead. and the default? it's "zh_CN". slay. ✨

👑 NOTE 👑

The hostname sitting inside [ ] in the Command Format means it's optional, bestie. If you don't need that option, then cwnnkill all by itself is sufficient to terminate the cserver. she doesn't need company. main character energy fr fr. 💅🌈

and that's the whole page! this one's from the System Manager's Manual, dated 13 May 1992 — yes, 1992, she's vintage and she ate 🍓 — and it's filed under CWNNKILL(8). mwah, love u, go terminate responsibly. 💖🧚‍♀️
