SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/killall [signal]
DESCRIPTIONkillall is used by shutdown(1M) to kill all active processes not
directly related to the shutdown procedure.
killall terminates all processes with open files so that the mounted
file systems will be unbusied and can be unmounted.
killall sends signal (see kill(1)) to the active processes. If no sig‐
nal is specified, a default of 15 is used.
The killall command can be run only by the super-user.
