Plan 9 is 'everything is a socket', not 'everything is a file'
They're redoing kill
The point is it's seen as a file. /sys and /proc aren't actual files on disk but follow the same idea.
This is a perfectly good addition and probably the most innocuous thing Google's done in years.
If you read it when he posted it back in the mid-90s, even if you were a teenager at the time, you'd be middle-aged now. So, was your premonition right?
I can only see this happening as some PID implementing their own kill command which just phones shit on shutdown.
Fucking botnet trash
Except when everything is an S-expression amirite
What's to stop that from happening right now?
Init already kills every process on shutdown.
Who's "they"?
Do you mean" Someone is adding a killkill procfs"
Then you know fuck-all about a Linux system or software development
That would make matters worse in my eyes
