kill -9
by davejenkins (99111)

I am convinced that SCO and their lawyers are a zombie process at this point. The bankruptcy was an attempt to kill the pid with some hope of clean up, but i fear we are to the stage of kill -9. I don't know what the legal equivalent of this is, except to get the sheriff in his off-hours to go in and lock the doors and just physically seize everything.

MAKE IT STOP!!!!

And what if that fails to work? Will we have to reboot the world?

Surprised there's no silver-bullet gun utility to go alongside with kill. Or that kill doesn't have a --wooden-stake option.

That would be for vampire processes. --fire or --headshot would be a better option.
Thank heaven that there are no Basilisk processes.
