1.$ KILL BU
Kill BURKHDR BURKHDR_1 -SUB- *DCL <N>? y
%KILL-I-KILLED, Killed BURKHDR_1
Kill BURKHDR Clock_240002B5 -DET- XCLOCK <N>?
Kill BURKHDR DECW$MWM -DET- DECW$MWM <N>?
Kill BURKHDR DECW$TE_02D0 MBA142: DECW$TERMINAL <N>? <Ctrl-Z>

This example demonstrates several points about the KILL
command:
1. KILL allows you to specify partial usernames. Wildcarded
usernames are supported in two cases: a * at the end of a
username will be ignored (BU* is treated in the same way as
BU) and a username of * will match all usernames.
2. By default KILL confirms and logs all kills. This can be
overridden with /NOCONFIRM and /NOLOG respectively.
3. The default answer to the confirmation question is no. This
means that you can safely move through the confirmation list
by pressing <Return> until you find the right process.
4. Pressing <Ctrl-Z> at the confirmation prompt exits KILL
ignoring the remaining processes.
2.$ KILL/ID=(24009253,2400E2BE,2400D8EA)
Kill BURKHDR WKUVX1 BURKHDR_1 -SUB- *DCL <N>?
%KILL-W-SUICIDE, Skipping process 2400E2BE
Kill BURKHDR WKUVX1 BURKHDR_2 -SUB- *DCL <N>?
If you specify the PID of your own process in the /ID list,
you will be warned with a message to that effect. When killing
by username, the process that is running KILL will be excluded
from the list of candidates.
3.$ KILL "<login>",BURKHDR/NODE=*
Kill <login> WKUVX1 DECW$LOGINOUT -SUB- LOGINOUT <N>?
Kill BURKHDR WKUVX1 Clock_240002B5 -DET- XCLOCK <N>?
Kill BURKHDR WKUVX1 DECW$MWM -DET- DECW$MWM <N>?
Kill BURKHDR WKUVX1 DECW$TE_02D0 MBA142: DECW$TERMINAL <N>?
Kill BURKHDR WKUVX1 Darrell FTA315: RTPAD <N>?
Kill BURKHDR WKUVX1 My Evil Twin FTA385: TPU <N>?
Kill BURKHDR WKUVX4 Darrell RTA1: MAIL <N>?
Kill BURKHDR WKUVX4 SERVER_0018 -NET- NETSERVER <N>?
The /CONFIRM, /DISCONNECTED, /FORCEX, /KILL, /LOG, and /NODE
qualifiers are positional, i.e., their meaning depends on
where they are positioned within the command. Qualfiers that
appear after the KILL command are global to the command. These
global qualifiers can be overridden for a particular username
by including local qualifiers after the username. Thus, in the
example above, the /NODE=* qualifier applies only to processes
of the BURKHDR username.
4.$ KILL/DISC *
%KILL-W-NOPROCS, No matching processes were found
When killing by username, the warning message above will be
displayed if no processes are selected.
5.$ KILL BURKHDR
Kill BURKHDR Clock_240002B5 -DET- XCLOCK <N>? f
%KILL-I-FORCEX, Forced exit for Clock_240002B5
Kill BURKHDR DECW$MWM -DET- DECW$MWM <N>? <Ctrl-Z>
It is possible to override the /KILL and /FORCEX qualifiers
from the confirmation prompt. Answering with the letter ``F''
means to force image exit. Answering with the letter ``K''
means to kill.
