Bzzt! Wrong! Some *nixes have a killall command that kills all
processes. See:

http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/csg/manuals/all-manual-pages/solaris/usr/man/man1m/killall.1m.html

(pardon possible bad linewrap)

There _is_ a reason people don't say 'use killall' in generic advice --
it does not necessarily do the same thing on all platforms.

Sent to the list in case some poor soul on Solaris (or other platform,
who knows?) actually used this advice....
