If you're a Linux guy/girl and you someday end up in charge of a Solaris box, just remember that killall acts very differently! I almost think this is one of those "rights of passage" -- that everybody must do this at least once. You'll learn it the hard way but then you'll never forget... Kinda like many years ago when I was (new to Cisco gear and) making changes to a firewall ruleset -- remotely -- and decided to take a shortcut because I was supposed to go meet friends and so I was in a hurry.

Very bad incompatibility between oses indeed. It hurts when you learn but you can never ever forget. I feel for you. Actually I did not learned the hard way. But I was about to..

Never done this myself, but have done worse really. I was working at Sun a long time ago and we had a big shared development server. Being familiar with linux killall I suggested to my boss that he use killall instead of killing processes one by one. So he tried it out. Whole team had to wait quite a while for the server to restart. :-)
