kill − send a signal to a process
kill [options] <pid> [...]
The default signal for kill is TERM. Use −l or −L to list available signals. Particularly useful signals include HUP, INT, KILL, STOP, CONT, and 0. Alternate signals may be specified in three ways: −9, −SIGKILL or −KILL. Negative PID values may be used to choose whole process groups; see the PGID column in ps command output. A PID of −1 is special; it indicates all processes except the kill process itself and init.
<pid> [...]
Send signal to every <pid> listed.
−<signal>
−s <signal>
−−signal <signal>
Specify the signal to be sent. The signal can be specified by using name or number. The behavior of signals is explained in signal(7) manual page.
−l, −−list [signal]
List signal names. This option has optional argument, which will convert signal number to signal name, or other way round.
−L, −−table
List signal names in a nice table.
NOTES |
Your shell (command line interpreter) may have a built-in kill command. You may need to run the command described here as /bin/kill to solve the conflict. |
kill −9 −1
Kill all processes you can kill.
kill −l 11
Translate number 11 into a signal name.
kill -L
List the available signal choices in a nice table.
kill 123 543 2341 3453
Send the default signal, SIGTERM, to all those processes.
kill(2), killall(1), nice(1), pkill(1), renice(1), signal(7), skill(1)
This command meets appropriate standards. The −L flag is Linux-specific.
Albert Cahalan wrote kill in 1999 to replace a bsdutils one that was not standards compliant. The util-linux one might also work correctly.
