Re: [PLUG] Unwanted services.

Mental just informed me yesterday that killall works very differently on
Linux than it does on other platforms -- specificly solaris.
Since many of the readres on this list use other unixes, I though I'd share
Mental's explanation.
Under Linux, killall will kill processes that match the name you give it.
Under other unixes, it will kill _all_ processes (with a default signal
of SIGTERM). This means that if you issue 'killall vi' on solaris, you'll
end up sending a 'vi' signal (which is invalid, and will revert to TERM)
to every process on the box -- probably not what you want.
