This a Linux joke? I'm interested, what's sigterm and sigkill?

[–] paholg@lemm.ee 26 points 7 months ago

Sigterm is telling someone to kill themselves. Sigkill is murder.

But, like, for programs.

[–] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 7 months ago

Sigterm is a signal that tells a program to prepare to close down.

Sigkill just shoots it with a shotgun and murder its all family.
