Interestingly, deleting the vim executable won't exit, because Unix has the "funny" habit of keeping a file handle alive as long as it's referenced by a process

Really cool way to mess with some noobs.
- samatman 7y agoWhat is the 'deleting an executable' you speak of? All I know how to do is remove a reference to a file, and hope it's the last one and that Unix will garbage collect it eventually. Remember kids: `rm` is just `ln` backwards.
