Fine, you got ten seconds to clean everything up after I SIGTERM before I SIGKILL
Think of the children!
Good thinking! We’ll SIGKILL the whole process group! No descendants, no orphans.
And most importantly, no witnesses
Don’t need some zombie child coming back years from now on a revenge arc.
I should maybe alias that… Something along kill , sleep , kill -9
SIGTERM: Dear process. Please stop doing what you’re doing now, tidy everything up and just stop after that.
SIGKILL: I’m not asking you anything, I’m not even talking to you anymore. I don’t care you leave crap everywhere or lose data integrity. System, shoot this fucker!
That reminds me, I just learned yesterday (from a crossword) that Natives In Tech has actually asked Apache Software to change their name last year.
I don’t think it’ll happen anytime soon, but seeing them here in the picture reminded of that.

This a Linux joke? I’m interested, what’s sigterm and sigkill?
Sigterm is telling someone to kill themselves. Sigkill is murder.
But, like, for programs.
Sigterm is a signal that tells a program to prepare to close down.
Sigkill just shoots it with a shotgun and murder its all family.
Racist ass web servers.
