>Description:
The manpage for killall(1) says:
Be warned that typing killall name may not have the
desired effect on non-Linux systems, especially when done
by a privileged user.
which, while perhaps correct, is not relevant for a FreeBSD system. 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.
