killall(1M)                    DG/UX R4.11MU05                   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
