KILLALL(1M)                                           KILLALL(1M)



     NAME
          killall - kill all active processes

     SYNOPSIS
          /etc/killall [ signal ]

     DESCRIPTION
          killall is 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 the
          mounted file systems will be unbusied and can be unmounted.

          killall sends signal (see kill(1)) to all processes not
          belonging to the above group of exclusions.  If no signal is
          specified, a default of 9 is used.

     FILES
          /etc/shutdown
