NAME
      killall - kill all active processes
 


SYNOPSIS
      /usr/sbin/killall [ signal ]
 


DESCRIPTION
      killall 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 signal is specified, a default of 15 is used.
 
      The killall command can be run only by the super-user.
