Yep. I remember the first time I used it on a Solaris box ......
You should have seen the SURPRISE ON MY FACE the box (a REAL BIG server!!!) was
shutting
down and I couldnt do a THING to warn ALL the users on(connected to) that machine .....
It does make sense to have "killall squid" or "killall xterm" or something
like that to have ALL processes by THAT name killed. But it does make
sense to have "killall" as well.
What surprised me that there was NO warning aka "Do you really want to do this".
Nope. Nothing. Zilch. Zero. Null. The box just went blank (and so did my face).
It is funny now, but not at that time.
$grin$!
