Re: [wlug] Renaming Debian platforms

Hee. Does Solaris have pkill? That's what I've been using on Linux for the longest time now -- no killall for me, thanks.

That's a really good point actually, and more people should be made aware of pkill. pkill -u username will kill all processes owned by that user. pkill -u username programname will kill all proceesses called programname owned by that user. So killing all of perry's bash processes is easy: pkill -u perry bash. If you just typed 'killall bash' you'd be likely to kill your own bash process as well!
