That is a reasonable sounding boss. Besides, the achine *did* crash, killing every process pretty much stopped it dead I'd suspect...

I discovered the "killall" behavior on IRIX the hard way.

"killall -9 httpd"

*everything stops*

"aw shit."

<quickly tell everyone the main CVS server crashed, reboot it>

My boss goes "okay, *I* know you're BSing, what did you do?"

"killall isnt the same on IRIX as it is on linux"

he laughed.
