Very true. "pkill" will work as expected on other OSes if it is
available. On the other hand, the killall command does something
*very* different on non-Linux OSes.
If you do "killall something" on Solaris as root, the system
goes down. *Hard*. Better not to get used to something dangerous
like that ("killall" should never have been called that under
Linux, but it's way too late to fix that).
