I gave you time to flee
This a Linux joke? I’m interested, what’s sigterm and sigkill?
Sigterm is telling someone to kill themselves. Sigkill is murder.
But, like, for programs.
Sigterm is a signal that tells a program to prepare to close down.
Sigkill just shoots it with a shotgun and murder its all family.
SIGTERM: Dear process. Please stop doing what you’re doing now, tidy everything up and just stop after that.
SIGKILL: I’m not asking you anything, I’m not even talking to you anymore. I don’t care you leave crap everywhere or lose data integrity. System, shoot this fucker!
Fine, you got ten seconds to clean everything up after I SIGTERM before I SIGKILL
I should maybe alias that… Something along kill , sleep , kill -9
Think of the children!
Good thinking! We’ll SIGKILL the whole process group! No descendants, no orphans.
Don’t need some zombie child coming back years from now on a revenge arc.
