In computing, kill is a command that is used in several popular operating systems to send signals to running processes, for example to request the termination of this process.
Famous quotes containing the word kill:
“Though I had not come a-hunting, and felt some compunctions about accompanying the hunters, I wished to see a moose near at hand, and was not sorry to learn how the Indian managed to kill one. I went as reporter or chaplain to the hunters,—and the chaplain has been known to carry a gun himself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
