Nah, we gotta kill, preferably with -9. 🤣

You know I’ve known for decades that -9 is basically “nuke it from orbit”, but does anyone know what the “9” actually means or where it came from?

You can use kill -l (lowercase L) to see a list of signals. But IIRC it’s the same as -KILL.

EDIT: fixed the signal name.

TERM is the default (15). 9 is KILL
