Comments on: How To Kill Stuff On Linux http://www.terminally-incoherent.com/blog/2007/10/05/how-to-kill-stuff-on-linux/ Utterly random, incoherent and disjointed rants and ramblings...

Sadly most of them can't read so they just issue random CLI commands or key stroke combination when faced with a linux computer. If you are lucky, they will upgrade and patch your kernel or get our Wifi card to work. If you are unlucky they will repartition your drive or delete the root folder.

Thanks for the info! My laptop actually has a SysRq key on it, so it's ready to go. Maybe that's how my cat manages to do amazing, annoying things to my laptop when running across the keyboard.

Another hint for you fellow newbs…maybe reading an Apache admin book would actually SAVE you time, eh? All I needed to do to enable my dern rewrite was to change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride all in my sites-enabled config. Hmmm….I bet a quick doc on configuring sites in Apache2 would have saved me all that. But then I wouldn’t have ever found out how to kill stuff on linux…so then again, maybe it was all worth it.

I've used Linux since 1998, but I've never known those key combos (guess I never needed them).

For some reason i had to do it today while i were in a console during the install process of debian/ubuntu. For my view it was remarkable that here each keystroke was responded by the system with a instant log about what happens. Normally i had at most a blinking hdd LED while typing the S of REISUB for the sync. my 2 cents - the polarizer
