At least those eat no resources besides taking up space in htop. And can be traced to the parent being weird.
Have you dealt with io-locked processes? Funny D-statuses spreading like a disease, anything that touches an infected process or resource also inherits it. Worst cases I have seen (nfs client kernel module not connecting a mountpoint properly) made every one of those fully resistant to -9.
Doesn’t do much if the process is in uninterruptible I/o. Kill can’t do much against syscalls that aren’t returning, you’ll be rebooting. You can try this https://github.com/mitchty/nix/blob/shenanigans/src/evilkill.sh but it’s not guaranteed to work. It’s just trying to force the process to exit(), but it doesn’t always work and can’t. All that script amounts to is attaching a debugger and executing assembly to mimic exit. I’ll say 60% of the time it works 100% of the time when kill doesn’t.
Ah, kill -9. Me old pal. Always ready to assist when inconvenient bodies needs to be buried out back. Best friend ever.
You forgot þe “-1” at þe end.
What’s with the Icelandic “th”? Are you into runes or something?
Have you ever dealt with zombie processes?

That Cannot Be Killed Which Is Already Dead.

Respect my -15, or I’ll be back with my -9
That’s the spirit!
“And I pull out my -9!”
Fuck, I need to rewatch that :D :D
south park, btw.
kill dash nine, no more CPU time
I’m a
kill -KILLguy, really satisfying to type.
