@swiftyshq@voidwood.online I think sigterm gives the process a chance to shut itself down gracefully, like clicking the X at the top of a GUI window, while sigkill ends the process forcefully, but it's been a while since I read the documentation on that

@swiftyshq@voidwood.online My favorite thing about processes is that there can be a zombie process... A process that is dead but not reaped: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_process Though when they actually happen on a system, they're very inconvenient to deal with 😅
