Yes yes, I REALLY want to terminate that process and I am very sure about it too, ty.
Is there some Linux equivalent to “ctrl + alt + del?” I get that killing a process from the terminal is preferred, but one of the few things I like about windows is if the GUI freezes up, I can pretty much always kill the process by pressing ctrl+alt+del and finding it in task manager. Using Linux if I don’t already have the terminal open there are plenty of times I’m just force restarting the computer because I don’t know what else to do.
Try ctrl+shift+ESC And remember, there are customizable hotkeys, just explore the settings
I’ve heard those quick keys a thousand times but my brain has determined that it is not necessary information for me to retain.
btw funny story since many comments mention NFS/CIFS:
I have a share mounted at /smb and the server sometimes just dies so when I want to unmount it I run umount /smb but my shell (zsh) hangs after typing umount /sm and the b doesn’t even show
I guess zsh does a kind of stat() on everything you type but bash came to save the day
I don’t know if clean ZSH does it, but if you have the zsh-syntax-highlighting plugin, it tests if the path you’re typing exists every time you edit the line.
mainly wrong, by default kill send a SIGTERM, you can try SIGINT or SIGQUIT too, and in the end SIGKILL of course. Same in windows there is different way
I always go straight for the SIGKILL
Some software: fork()
Me: Welcome to the process gauntlet loser, better not hang for a millisecond or you are dead and gone.
