Problem 6: Small questions
Good morning
Thank You for help.

Graphical programs are often just front ends for terminal applications.
In a terminal type:

man kill

kill is probably kill -9 and terminate is likely kill -15

Thank You.

Try:

killall -9 firefox

Does killall kill also kill Chromium and so on or only firefox?
Does -9 say: I am more cruel then only kill 1234
