#9830: coretool - kill command not work properly -----------------------------------------------+--------------------------- Reporter: streak | Owner: nobody Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Applications/Command Line Tools | Version: Resolution: invalid | R1/Development Blocked By: | Keywords: coretools Has a Patch: 0 | kill command | Blocking: | Platform: All -----------------------------------------------+--------------------------- Comment (by anevilyak): Replying to [comment:6 streak]: > Its done in this way because of: > - Portability in lazarus app for haiku / different flawors of linux That makes no sense. coreutils kill does not support kill by name on linux either. Kill by PID on the other hand is more reliable and supported on both. > - kill_team() which is used for example in processcontroller not always kills properly zombie apps [from my experience, zombies are hard to kill using processcontroller. The opposite -kill command works perfectly with lazarus and i dont need to do any fancy stuff to use it on linux and haiku.. That makes no sense either, since kill_team() is equivalent to sending kill -9 to the team. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/9830#comment:7> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
