- -- kill --
-
- Kill (stop) programs or processes.
-
- Usage:
- kill [-f] <process1> [process2] [...]
-
- The 'kill' command can be used to stop and eliminate one or more programs or
- processes. The '-f' option means 'force' (i.e., stop the program even if it
- is not responding, or if there are errors of various types). If no -f option
- is specified, the kill operation will tend to quit if errors are encountered
- while dismantling a process. The only mandatory parameter is a process ID
- number (and, optionally, any number of additional process ID numbers). To
- see a list of running processes, use the 'ps' command.
-
- Options:
- -f : Force kill -- ignore errors.
