KILLALL(1M)          INTERACTIVE UNIX System          KILLALL(1M)



          NAME
               killall - kill all active processes

          SYNOPSIS
               /etc/killall [ signal ]

          DESCRIPTION
               The killall command is used by /etc/shutdown to kill all
               active processes not directly related to the shutdown pro-
               cedure.

               The killall command terminates all processes with open files
               so that the mounted file systems will be unbusied and can be
               unmounted.

               The killall command 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
