KILLALL(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual KILLALL(1)
NAME
killall - kill processes by name
SYNOPSIS
killall [-d |-v] [-h |-?] [-help] [-l] [-m] [-s] [-SIGNAL] procname ...
DESCRIPTION
Killall kills processes selected by name, as opposed to the selection by
pid as done by kill(1). By default, it will send a TERM signal to all
processes with an effective UID identical to the caller of killall that
match the name procname. The super-user is allowed to kill any process.
