Killall

Short description: Command line utility

`killall` is a command line utility available on Unix-like systems. There are two very different implementations.

* The implementation supplied with genuine UNIX System V (including Solaris) and with the Linux sysvinit tools kills all processes that the user is able to kill, potentially shutting down the system if run by root.
* The implementation supplied with the FreeBSD (including Mac OS X) and Linux psmisc tools is similar to the `pkill` and `skill` commands, killing only the processes specified on the command line.

Both commands operate by sending a signal, like the `kill` program.

## Example usage

Kill all processes named xmms:

killall xmms
