While compiling www/chromium on a Pi3B it has become clear that the default -j4 isn't going to work (yes, I know, ya told me).
On the plus side, it hasn't crashed, despite several days of continuous swapping with 1-2GB of swap in use. Kudos to the VM folks. Now I'd like to (gracefully) stop the make and restart it with more sane -j values. -2 seems like a reasonable start. A simple kill <PID> aimed at the original make doesn't seem to do anything. Even kill -9 <PID> appears to have no effect on the c++ threads, which are still running minutes afterwards. Now it seems rather like I'm stuck: The original <PID> is gone, but c++ is still grinding away as if nothing has changed.. Is there a better way to accomplish a clean(ish) stop and restart of a multi-threaded make process?
