The minnuke program
minnuke sends a signal to every process on the system.
Interface
minnuke [ -h ] [ -t ] [ -k ]
- minnuke sends a SIGHUP, SIGTERM+SIGCONT, or SIGKILL
to every process on the system.
Options
- -h : send a SIGHUP
- -t : send a SIGTERM, then a SIGCONT
- -k : send a SIGKILL. This is the infamous kill -9 -1 command.
Notes
minnuke is only useful during a proper shutdown sequence. It is
an "administrator-only" command.
