Every one in my company knows about pkill, an obscure Linux command because we use Firefox (we are 100% Linux based) as the default browser. What is the relation, you ask? The answer is simple.
auxbuss Oops! Managed to pkill ssh, damn you regex, while testing a remote server. Spent a couple of hours learning monit in penance.
BRMatt Hmmm, just did pkill -v privoxy.... whoops!
CarrieLeighC Firefox is playing a roleplaying game, eh? I did NOT type "pkill firefox" and yet ... vamoose. Not a trace of Firefox to be found. Sneaky.
