Also, the operating system kernel in use at a particular system should not influence the behavior of killall. >How-To-Repeat: man 1 killall >Fix: Replace with warning about FreeBSD or non-FreeBSD systems as appropriate, or rephrase to talk about "... systems with non-GNU killall ..." or the whatever the correct source for the current killall is. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
