Re: [9fans] Killing another user's process

lower case kill restricts the list to processes of the invoking user initial cap Kill doesn't do that. for lower case kill, you can @{rfork n; echo -n none >/tmp/none && bind /tmp/none /dev/user && kill tftpd} you wouldn't normally of course but aspects of that command might be instructive On 25

Re: [9fans] Killing another user's process

Thanks, Skip. I thought that ought to work, however 'kill tftpd' doesn't give any output. (I can kill other processes) I think maybe I have misunderstood the host owner part. If I do a plain install (of 9front, actually) from the CD and log in as glenda, am I not the host owner? Thanks, Pete On

Re: [9fans] Killing another user's process

If you're the host owner, you can: Kill tftpd | rc (See rc scripts kill and Kill) On Mon, Jul 24, 2017, 9:41 AM Peter Hull wrote: > Is it possible to kill another user's process in plan9? > Specifically I've been messing about with tftpd, which sets itself up > as user

[9fans] Killing another user's process

Is it possible to kill another user's process in plan9? Specifically I've been messing about with tftpd, which sets itself up as user 'none' - if I want to stop the tftp server, how do I do that? Thanks, Pete
