Yes. "pkill -v sleep" kills all your own processes except for sleep. As root, it kills all processes running on your machine except for sleep. -V is not a good choice of letter for this option: it's too easy to write -v instead by accident. -l (dash-ell), as jhell has suggested elsewhere in this thread, would be ideal, since it's lowercase and easy to type. If you don't like -l, you could choose to make it -D (for "Debug") instead. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
