Selected Answer: A
pkill An alternative command to kill is the pkill command, which also references the process by PID. Additionally, pkill can also terminate processes based on name, users, and other criteria. When -f is set, the full command line is used. (complete command line) The kill command is used to pass these signals to processes. For example, to initiate a graceful exit, type: $ sudo kill -15 {PID} Likewise, kill -9 {PID} sends a SIGKILL message to the process. skill These tools are obsolete and unportable.
