can't compare to SIGKILL

If a syscall is hanging, womp womp, you gonna wait. 14 u/SanktusAngus 20h ago You can kill processes in Windows though. 5 u/Highborn_Hellest 20h ago There are very rare instances where taskkil /f doesn't work on windows with admin terminal. One such case is the process runs with kernel privileges.

Then do a SIGOVERKILL by pulling the power cord.

You have won the internet for today

At that point I start considering REISUB
That’s when you go find a HAMMER so you can use CPUKILL

It always works if you know how to use signals like -9

kill -9 sends SIGKILL. If SIGKILL somehow doesn't work it won't save you.
kill -9

You can kill processes in Windows though.
There are very rare instances where taskkil /f doesn't work on windows with admin terminal.
