# killall

> Send kill signal to all instances of a process by name (must be exact name).
> All signals except SIGKILL and SIGSTOP can be intercepted by the process, allowing a clean exit.
> More information: <https://manned.org/killall>.

- Terminate a process using the default SIGTERM (terminate) signal:

`killall {{process_name}}`

- [l]ist available signal names (to be used without the 'SIG' prefix):

`killall -l`

- Interactively ask for confirmation before termination:

`killall -i {{process_name}}`

- Terminate a process using the SIGINT (interrupt) signal, which is the same signal sent by pressing `Ctrl + C`:

`killall -INT {{process_name}}`

- Force kill a process:

`killall -KILL {{process_name}}`
