killall(1m)                DG/UX 4.30                 killall(1m)



     NAME
          killall - kill all active processes

     SYNOPSIS
          /etc/killall [ signal  [ pid pid...] ]

     DESCRIPTION
          Killall is a procedure used by /etc/shutdown to kill all
          active processes not directly related to the shutdown
          procedure.  Killall terminates all processes with open files
          so that you can unmount the mounted file systems.

          Killall sends signal (see kill(1)) to all remaining
          processes other than those described above.  The default
          signal is 9.  Killall will also accept a list of process
          id's to preserve.  In this case, the first argument must be
          the signal number.

     FILES
          /etc/shutdown
