    Argh, I hate this. I fail to see what progress a process could make if
    it kills everything _and_ itself. I frequently use "kill -9 -1" to kill
    everything except my shell, and now I'll have to kill everything else
    manually, one by one.

    If a process wants to commit suicide too, why doesn't it just do that
    after?
