MKILL

       Mkill - Send processes making a active mount point busy a signal

SYNOPSIS

       mkill [-SIG] [-u] /mnt1 [/mnt2...]
       mkill [-l]

DESCRIPTION

       mkill  determines  all  active  mount points from /proc/mounts and compares this with the specified mount points. Then mkill seeks for pro-
       cesses making this mount points busy. For this search only the links found in /proc/<pid>/ are used to avoid hangs  on  files  provided	by
       network	file  systems  like nfs(5).  The default signal is SIGTERM for termination. If a mount point is not active, that is that it is not
       found in /proc/mounts, mkill will do exactly nothing.

OPTIONS

       -<SIG> Signals  can be specified either by name (e.g. -HUP, -SIGHUP) or by number (e.g. -1).

       -0     The special signal 0 force mkill to list all processes making the specified mount point busy.

       -u     Perform a lazy umount on the specified mount points before sending the signal SIGTERM or SIGKILL.

       -l     List all known signals.

EXAMPLES

       mkill -TERM /var

       This will terminate all processes accessing a seperate /var partition.

       mkill -HUP /dev/pts

       All processes using a pseudo-terminal slave will hangup.

RETURN VALUE

       Always success which is that zero is returned.
