You can assume an answer correct unless its not then let the person who incorrectly answered know that they are incorrect    That way someone else can answer knowing that the question has not been answered before.

Question:

Incorrect.

The correct answer is:

kill -9 31337

Terminates a process indefinately.

Quite frankly I suggest you confer with your man files

killall what?

Your trying terminate "one" process and that is 31337. Without shutting down the whole system dude.

You might as well press the power button and turn the computer off if you can&#39;t do that.

Go to your terminal and "man kill" read it............learn it. Also the link I posted was from an official man file.

The –9 signal is the most lethal, and will terminate the process immediately. All other signals are weaker than –9

[LSA]

killall - kill a process by name

I just got confused between the 2 :">
