Meanwhile, a Linux user wipes blood off a sledgehammer with “SIGKILL” written on the handle

-9 in kill -9 stands for 9mm

Lol, tell that to Xorg.

130% and it doesn’t care about your kills or killalls or pkills or SIGKILLs…. It’s just gonna go, no matter what, until you shut the fucker down by unplugging it.

Sometimes you’ve just got a process that just won’t listen to commands.

Thants when you have to KILL the process.

PlexSheep ,

Ig you sigkill a process, that process will no longer get CPU time, as far as I know. So if it didn’t work, you shot the wrong thing.

In the immortal words of Monzy:

I_Miss_Daniel ,

Doesn’t seem to work for me. If Rustdesk goes rogue, it refuses to die. I might need to practice some more command-line-fu though.

sag ,

Did you mean xkill?

PlexSheep ,

Only works on xorg

Task manager: not responding

lowleveldata ,

*Cortana will remember this

henfredemars ,

I have encountered processes that even Task Manager could not kill.

All the damn time. I typically use Linux, so having a process I can’t even force kill is a severely annoying concept.

henfredemars , (edited )

This has happened to me only once on Linux. I still tell stories about it.

It was a CD burning program stuck in uninterruptible sleep! Trapped in a system call into the kernel that can never be interrupted by a signal, it was truly unkillable. The SIGKILLs simply piled up never to be delivered.

I…can’t tell what is happening here. Is he having an orgasm? Is he supposed to be a priest, or a slave?

Lost_My_Mind ,

THIS is your big “You won’t believe what happened to me…” story???

sigh

When I was 14, I took the power cord for the original PS1 and shaved the rubber off the end until metal prongs were sticking out. Then I noticed if the outlet end was plugged in, and you touched the metal prongs on the other end, you couldn’t drop it. It would electricute you, but it would also stick to your skin for 5-10 seconds as it electricuted you.

So being a 14 year old male, I did the only logical thing. I put it on my penis.

It was quite shocking!

henfredemars ,

I used to stick forks in the electrical outlets.

Now I post Linux memes.

Lost_My_Mind ,

That tracks.

Ziglin ,

I would assume that was a kernel issue.

henfredemars ,

In this case it was a driver holding that thread captive and making an assumption about the hardware eventually responding to a request which never completes.

So yes indeed it was the kernel, and ideally the driver could be written better, but that’s probably easier said than done when the hardware can do weird things.

This was a long time ago, so for all I know the issue has been long corrected.

Magikjak ,

A while ago I kept a shortcut in the taskbar that ran a batch file that killed any unresponsive task, worked even on those tasks that Task Manager can’t seem to close. As long as explorer was still running and I could alt tab and press that button it worked 100% of the time

henfredemars ,

How do you determine if a task is unresponsive?

Magikjak ,

It was something like this. It would just kill all tasks that haven’t responded in X amount of time. Obviously this is not a great solution as it can cause data loss and you could accidentally close more than just the program you intend to close, but sometimes you have little choice.
