I've done that exact thing! Took me a few minutes to realize what happened. Luckily it was just a VM.
It makes sense in the context of pgrep, since that emulates grep. But kill does not have a -v flag that means inverse.
- lucb1e 10y agoI use grep -v all the time and still think it's a really weird choice for the negate option. (It's called "invert match" in the man page; there's at least a v in there.) Arguably grep predates any common practices, but I'd have to look that up.
