No. killall is not part of standard, and, just because System V choose to implement that way, does not warrant that FreeBSD has to. Moreover, user can always alias /sbin/killall to 'fkill' and 'kill -15 -1' to 'killall' if they really want the System V behavior. Cheers, -- Xin LI <delphij@delphij.net> http://www.delphij.net
