# killall
|
|
|
|
> Send kill signal to all instances of a process by name (must be exact name).
|
|
> All signals except SIGKILL and SIGSTOP can be intercepted by the process, allowing a clean exit.
|
|
> More information: <https://manned.org/killall>.
|
|
|
|
- Terminate a process using the default SIGTERM (terminate) signal:
|
|
|
|
`killall {{process_name}}`
|
|
|
|
- List available signal names (to be used without the 'SIG' prefix):
|
|
|
|
`killall --list`
|
|
|
|
- Interactively ask for confirmation before termination:
|
|
|
|
`killall -i {{process_name}}`
|
|
|
|
- Terminate a process using the SIGINT (interrupt) signal, which is the same signal sent by pressing `<Ctrl c>`:
|
|
|
|
`killall -INT {{process_name}}`
|
|
|
|
- Force kill a process:
|
|
|
|
`killall -KILL {{process_name}}`
