Great show. Any command line stuff is much appreciated.

Using kill -stop <pid> and kill -cont <pid> you can stop and start the processes. For all the time you do not want to start over. Keep up the great work.

This episode was great. Btw it is really fun to just listen to the comments beneath the video with tts.

If "kill" does not actually kill the process, it might be, because the process ignores the signal sent by "kill". kill can send various signals - see "man 7 signal" - and the default is TERM, which basically means "please cease to exist". It is up to the program to react to such a signal. But there is also the signal SIGKILL, which is equivalent to ordering the OS to destroy the process. The most commonly used signals have numbers, which can be used as arguments for kill and killall. SIGKILL is number 9

So, if killing fails like in min 20:44, use killall -9 <name> or kill -9 >process id>.

The ending was great! 'killall snubs' XD

I love all the Linux related stuff, keep up the good work guys and girls!!!

[NateCrownwell]

you could also use pkill instead of killall

[chillierdavro]

pkill gedi

killall take's exact name of process as the argument whereas pkill can take partial or complete name :)

[jfraser]

you could use pidof as well like kill `pidof gedit` . or pkill take your pick

[johnnyvcrow]

Seb did a killall redshift in the first coding with hak5 video... :)

[msven]

Is that the same unicorn that is the spokesman (spokesthing?) for the Squatty Potty?

[kiri]

More Metasploit Minutes with Mubix? Not the reason I tuned in? WRONG! Can't wait :P

[MattGbrp]

Most x systems have an application called xkill which performed the same operation of kill in one step. Try the xkill commend.

[limpopo]

interesting topick a bit un usual for you hack 5. how ever i am used to listen thees voices because i am using screen reader in kali to get around the terminal and other stuf. E speak is myfavorite it does not sound grate but there is not much choice is it? i am using orka screen reader it is built in to kali

[rdoetjes]

ps -aux is actually a BSD parameter. Since Linux is more SystemV based you should use ps -ef or ps -elf ;)
But that's cool thing of gnu ps, it doesn't discriminate. Back in the late 90s I had Linux and BSD running and at work I was on Solaris and Irix systems and I kept typing aux and it went

Same with linking the network servers or clients and forgot to link certain libs like lookup and -lnsl and one or two other libs and linux was fine with it and the SystemV derived machines were like missing library nsl"

Annoying when you develop on Linux and test it all fine and you move to Solaris or Irix and it doesn't even compile :D

[TimHoekstra]

How about any software in linux that does speech to text? Any good open source projects that do this?

[Raptork]

Did you guys forget a title? Did you intend to upload this as private until is was done processing, then tweak the title and description later?

[wwShadow]

pgrep and GeSpeaker. We've come a long way since redhat 5.1.

[banas]

I know I'm getting old when instructional videos have to explain what X is.

[ChunkyChest]

sapi voice via com in windows is kinda the same voice wise. hey member sam? lol
