Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    ps aux | grep . kill

    killall works great for this.

    At that point you can just hard restart as well. Most motherboards accept 10 to 15 seconds of power button as "my OS is fucked please help" and restart the machine for you.

    They also accept pulling the power cord out as "oh no" and shutdown for you!

    The most I work with restart, but I think you can configure it in the bios.

    killall just kills all instances of a program, not everything.

    and also, long pressing the power button should just shut it down, no?

    kill -9 $(pidof )
