Added ability to use "@" symbol in command named in the inittab file. This treats commands as literal and does not launch a shell to interpret them. Updated inittab manual page to include overview of symbols which trigger a shell interpretor and how to disable them using the @ symbol.

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B killall5
|
|
is the SystemV \fBkillall\fR command. It sends a signal to all processes except
|
|
kernel threads and the processes in its own session, so it won't kill
|
|
the shell that is running the script it was called from. Its primary
|
|
(only) use is in the \fBrc\fP scripts found in the \fI/etc/init.d\fP directory.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS

|
|
Tells \fBkillall5\fP to omit processes with that process id.
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
\fBkillall5\fP can also be invoked as \fBpidof\fP(8), which is simply a
|
|
(symbolic) link to the \fBkillall5\fP program.
|
|
.SH EXIT STATUS
|
|
The program return zero if it killed processes. It returns 2 if no
|
|
process were killed, and 1 if it was unable to find any processes
