[edit] Kill -9 -1

Keyboard shortcut? Console command? I'm not familiar with tricks for this OS, but either way we're not a user manual for it. GarrettTalk 10:40, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete Yeah, WP:NOT per Garrett (not to mention, it's a really bad idea to use "kill -9" under Unix or Unix-like systems (e.g. Linux)). -Harmil 11:46, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Aside from the fact that the one sentence in the article is untrue (what flavour of init is being used and whether one is the superuser are two important factors), this is an exceedingly poor title for an article. (It's the kill command with two arguments.) The title isn't even necessarily itself correct, as 9 is not necessarily the number of the SIGKILL signal. Nothing to merge anywhere, and a title that is inherently misleading. At best, this is Redirect to kill (Unix) simply to prevent an article like this growing again. Uncle G 12:23:37, 2005-07-25 (UTC)
    • Comment: SIGKILL might not necessarily be 9, but I can't think of a *nix still in wide use that doesn't define it as such. I'm curious, can you site an example? -- Plutor 16:40, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect as per Uncle G. — JIP | Talk 12:39, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Redirect, agreed jamesgibbon 14:41, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. No one's going to search for this, so a redirect is unnecessary. -- Plutor 16:40, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, no redirect. -Splash 17:57, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as per Plutor. …Markaci 2005-07-25 T 23:34:35 Z
