[@NicholasMaietta]

Been a linux user since 1995 but I still learned something. Thank you!

[@EngineerMan]

Glad I could bring you some new knowledge!

[@smudgepost]

Same (1993) Still have trusty Using Linux Sixth Edition (QUE) on my desk..

[@heXan]

Same here since 1999... Only used kill with -1, -2, -9... fg and bg were new to me. But as a lazy dev I've used it from' top' (even better 'htop') or directly with 'xkill' - point and click style :).

I don't think I ever hear such clear explanations. Thank you very much! Instead of using 'clear', you could use 'CTRL+L'.

[@AbhishekBM]

But it's not the same as clear. It just scrolls the current prompt to the top, you can still see the older commands when scrolling back up

[@poorgirl9458]

and when you go ‘set -o vi’ to enable vi mode at the bash prompt ‘ctrl-L’ does not work

[@Diprotic]

I'm 3 minutes in & I've learned A LOT! Thank you! You're the kind of people we need on youtube regarding linux.

[@georgichelenkov4360]

Great job! Recently found these series and am fascinated! Subscribed immediately! Keep up the good work!

[@Hakusha]

these linux videos are fantastic

[@IctioPar]

Great content! I've recently started working with linux again and it's awesome to get to know more!

[@tigercake558]

really love these videos, I'm learning a lot. Very very accessible and clear videos, please keep up the good work.

[@justchecking2470]

your content is neat and tidy I can't be grateful more for what you've done on this channel. your contribution for linux learning community is huge

[@maxpolaris99]

This was an excellent video that got me up to speed in a hurry. Very well organized and nicely explained. A great jumping off point for my own exploration. Thank you!

[@zachmane2]

Always appreciate the quality of your videos. Goes in depth, but accessible to beginners

[@EngineerMan]

That's my aim :)

[@somber_soul]

Very helpful. I've only ever seen htop for process management and this helps to understand the underlying signals being sent. Thanks!

[@yeeeehaaawbuddy]

These are very involved processes, but you explain it all so well, and in such a good order. Thanks!!

[@rushikmakwawna]

Very well explained. Keep uploading such videos. Sound clarity is really good.

[@MehdiShokoohi]

That was amazing Engineer; wish i could 'fg' all of my postponed tasks and "kill -20 bad-mood" !

[@ShivamJha00]

Why not kill -9 it :D

[@justChuka]

U mean 9?

[@kavithapriyacj4868]

Just a wow content .. awesome man that u indirectly mentioned about difference between killed and terminated process ..love u

[@bzielinski]

Brilliant and simple explanation about kill signals. Thank you.

[@stargentitude7154]

I am learning this at college, but everyone one is struggling due to our harsh teacher making the most hardest test questions. He does not give good material to study, but thank God I came across your channel. I finally understand the real purposes of these commands and enjoy this now!

[@alexanderradyuk9204]

Good job 👍🏻 The way you explain is awesome. Even knowing such things I continued watching. Keep it up!

[@EngineerMan]

Thanks for the kind words, hope I helped in some way.

[@skyloreBOTS]

Dude props on how well you explain everything!

[@TheFarmacySeedsNetwork]

The few videos of yours I've seen are excellent and simple explanations! I will be sharing these with my friends (who are learning) and also my users from my Raspberry Pi series. cheers!

[@EngineerMan]

Thank you :)

[@TheFarmacySeedsNetwork]

Thank YOU :)

[@bitelogger]

I wish knew your name to properly address my thanks to you and this great video...The quality f your explanation but also the goodwill to share it with the community, my deep respect!!!

[@EngineerMan]

My name is Brian :)

[@mikefdorst]

Thanks man! You just upgraded my workflow.

[@aayyaa1188]

You make the concept of these command so clear. Thank you soooo much

[@josephemmanuel4089]

Thank you. This really helps me for my current project

[@abhishekshah11]

I'm happy that I recognized all the commands :)

[@tdkiran]

Thanks you for this video . Would like to see more on Linux/unix series

[@zgredfryd]

Thank You man! I really like your videos. I know what those commands do, but Your explanation of what is really happening in Linux is golden! Yo have a gift to explain things and teach people. Great, great stuff. It's helping me a lot.

[@radubojica7888]

They took yerr jobs !!! Great video man btw. I learned some things from this which my Operating Systems teacher didn't teach me. :)

[@freeuyghur2063]

11:54 We can use `watch -n 2 jobs` to monitor jobs command every 2 seconds. so we can show the realtime result from pane 1 when the process killed at pane 2. some energy efficiency and fun than manually type a repetitive command.

[@brandon.duffany]

Thanks for this awesome tip! This is a game-changer!

[@RussTeeTrombone]

Thanks so much for these videos. You’re truly a jack of all tech trades.

[@isaacvv]

Thanks for the videos. Keep them coming!

[@austinmallar5430]

Where was this 3 months ago during my Operating Systems course?

[@diggydude5229]

You're looking for W. Richard Stevens' books on UNIX programming, where all of this stuff is explained in detail.

[@ChudLife]

going through it right now in OS course and it is kicking my ass I feel like I am watching the Rockwell Retro Encabulator video

[@prabodh11]

Great video, Informative, thanks for sharing🙏

[@ZacKoch]

Great as usual!

[@kurtmedley1187]

Clear and concise information. Thank you!

[@yangzhang2303]

Really nice and clear. Would you like to make an video about using strace ?

[@behruzm]

Excellent explanation of the above terms

[@photopicker]

That was amazingly clear and insightful.

[@ForceHunterHD]

Great linux videos. I hope more are coming cuz i rly want to learn linux

[@MichaelMantion]

You are a life saver. You are exactly what I need right now. TY.

[@natahmad84]

Thanks dude, pretty clear and simple!

[@aminebouaita9202]

I want to thank you for the quality of your videos, not just this one. All of your videos

[@EngineerMan]

You're welcome!

[@glikar1]

Superb clarity as usual!

[@JTKroll12]

really love your videos I learned a lot of stuff about killing

[@fruitygranulizer540]

this was so incredibly well explained. my prof was making a shit show out of this chapter by just throwing a bunch of words at us. going back and reading his lecture notes, i can understand it now, and i furthur can see how poorly written his lecture was. thank so much for this.

[@EngineerMan]

Glad it helped :)

[@danielmoita6151]

hey just started watching your videos and they have helped me a lot. i like they way you explain. Would you be willing to do a video explaining named pipes for server-client, using multithreading or select() for parallel requests? Thank your for your videos, and keep up the great work :)

[@MiseryFarm]

I'm really enjoying these videos. Thanks

[@SubiqT]

Excellent explanations, thanks a lot

[@xpkareem]

I learn a lot from your videos. Thanks!

[@frroossst4267]

Super helpful, super concise, thanks!

[@roeyleon22]

Very good explenation ! - subscribed :)

[@pierrebouchard4289]

Great video ... Learned a lot ... You're a gentleman and a scholar ...

[@dast6915]

Well I didn't know that. Great content. I will have to look at your other videos now. And subcribe!

[@Fernando-wz6no]

Kill -15 was really useful. Thanks.

[@nox5718]

Learned too much with this video, thanks too much man!

[@willb.755]

Great content as always! Thanks man :)

[@jonassteinberg3779]

well organized and delivered

[@lavellefloyd4639]

I appreciate you sharing wisdom to linux noobs like myself

[@leonardodavinci4259]

Exactly what I needed. THANKS!

[@ezequiel9055]

I wonder what distro are you using since your 'kill -l' output is so different than mine. Yours is more complete and is numbered while mine is just a list of signals, completely useless. As usual great video, very well prepared and organized, and your communication skills are superb ;) you are a very good teacher. I've been a linux user since 1998 and still learning things. Very much appreciated.

[@tpaq]

Most shells supply a "builtin" version of kill, try: "type kill". The presenter uses the Bash shell. I use Z-Shell, and its builtin is quite terse. try "/bin/kill -L".

[@dushyanthpeddi9690]

Great stuff. Thanks for this video.

[@kapilsonyt]

I have learned something new. Thanks much.

[@jorgediaz6730]

One thing I find very useful is having a process run outside of their parent process So For example if i run a long running process on the bash terminal I can exit the terminal and check on the process later on. You can do this with the screen command.

[@Cray2TheZ]

Brilliant video! Thanks!

[@nidishmodala3638]

thank you so much for clear explanation

[@samucancld]

Great explanation, thanks

[@trashpandalife]

Great videos, thanks!

[@hostgrady]

Very interesting, hopefully I can use these in shell scripts for something

[@patrykp8460]

after watching 15 sec I knew that this is proper and what I was actually looking for :D

[@MatthewStidham]

That was a killer video. Thanks!

[@stephenjames5745]

Awesome video! Thanks!

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

3:36 specifying ps options without a dash is BSD-style syntax. Probably best avoided.

[@ptaszor9779]

Nice film!

[@peacemaker42069]

hey man, great video,can you recommend any books or websites for learning linux/unix

[@flakkanon]

Nice video for recap as a linux user

[@fontanot]

great video, you just earned another subscriber

[@samkachar]

Learned alot about killing

[@4932gb]

Been using unux since 1980 and linux sice 1995. This is good stuff!

[@vaibhavppandey]

Wow :O

[@olehbaranovskyi2219]

thank you, great tutorial!

[@oscarceja0212]

Great explanation!!!

[@unstoppable-ar3292]

Very good. Thanks man. Legend!!!

[@bendover4728]

Awesome! Where can I find more information like this? I wish to learn and have deep understanding of Linux functioning, commands, etc

[@wramarante]

UNBELIEVABLE !!!...why??? Personally I have the habit to check the ratio dislike/like of all videos I intend to watch. I don't go around looking for higher or lower ratios, I just do it before watching it. That said, most of excelent videos I have watched has a ratio score between 1% and 3%. This video of yours has the impressively amazing ratio of 0.35% (5/1400)... You got a new susbscriber and a big fan on a 20 years linux admin.

[@EngineerMan]

:) Welcome.

[@astronautis1674]

Very helpful, thanks

[@fatemepourghaemi2587]

amazing job thanks man

[@gana706]

Ctrl c sends a SIGINT signal. Init is the first process pid = 1 Bash first fork (copies ) the process and than exec (replaces ) the process as child process. T = stopped state S = Interuptable sleep state ( Running in bg) Kill -15 Kill -2 Kill -1 Kill -9 ( my fav )

[@carlpilongo539]

Thank you for teaching us Linux, Programmer Mrbeast

[@manavbagai8548]

Very informative video.

[@athmikagowda6728]

Awesome vedio.....All linux users should have a look

[@countofcounts]

very helpful video my dude

[@janignacio7810]

You are awesome! Thank you.

[@Didanihaaaa]

thanks for such a great channel. I heard about parallel computing on Linux. could you please teach us some parallel computing stuff? bests

[@shamilcarela1699]

Fantastic video, appreciate.

[@bharatsnair]

Also check out pstree, which lets you view processes as a tree, helps you see the forks and execs.

[@mmobini1803]

Thank you!

[@Jonathan-rm6kt]

Thanks for the video engineer man! Do you have (or could you make) a video about properly removing packages? Ie how to make sure pkg mgr removes all misc files

[@armandnouri8207]

Great video. Why do different jobs listings appear for different bash log-in sessions?

[@abenezerabraham9524]

Really helpful!

[@0xssff]

THANKS A LOT

[@wi11ialvl]
