MOSKILLALL(M1)                  MOSIX Commands                MOSKILLAL(M1)
 
NAME
    MOSKILLALL - Kill or signal all your MOSIX processes
 
SYNOPSIS
    moskillall [-{signum} | -{symbolic_signal}] -G[{class}] [-J{jobid}]
 
               Symbolic signals:
 
               HUP INT QUIT ILL TRAP ABRT BUS FPE KILL USR1 SEGV USR2 PIPE
               ALRM TERM STKFLT CHLD CONT STOP TSTP TTIN TTOU URG XCPU XFSZ
               VTALRM PROF WINCH POLL PWR SYS
 
DESCRIPTION
    Moskillall kills or sends a signal to a group of processes: the default
    signal is SIGTERM, unless the numeric -{signum} or symbolic
    -{symbolic_signal} argument specify a different signal.
 
    If no arguments are specified, the signal is sent to all of the user's
    MOSIX processes. When invoked by the Super-User, the signal is sent to
    all the MOSIX processes of all the users.
 
    The -G[{class}] argument causes the signal to be sent only to MOSIX pro-
    cesses of the given class (See mosrun(1)).  When class is omitted, its
    value is assumed to be 1.
 
    The -J{jobid} argument causes the signal to be sent only to the user's
    (including the Super-User) processes that were started with 'mosrun
    -J{jobid}' (but when jobid is 0, the signal is also sent to all the
    user's MOSIX processes that were started without the -J argument: See
    mosrun(1)).
 
    Note that moskillall cannot provide an absolute guarantee that all pro-
    cesses of the requested group will receive the signal when there is a
    race condition in which one or more processes are forking at the exact
    time of running it.
 
DEFINITION OF MOSIX PROCESSES
    MOSIX processes are processes that were started by the mosrun(1) utility,
    including batch and native processes that do not run under MOSIX and pro-
    cesses that are queued, but excluding processes that were originated from
    other nodes (even if a guest batch job invoked mosrun explicitly).
