pid : Cannot superkill pid -1 (all processes)

Explanation

A "kill -K" command specified a process id (pid) of -1. Pid -1 indicates that the superkill should be sent to all processes for which you are authorized. This is not supported for superkill.

System action

Processing of pid -1 ends. If there are more arguments, the command continues.

User response

Issue the "kill -K" command only for positive pid values which have not terminated from a prior "kill -s KILL".
