Good presentation, especially for someone like myself who has a basic understanding of processes, terminal commands, and shell scripts but still has a lot to learn.

Have never seen pkill before airways just used kill or killall. I probably wouldn't say running from a file but running from a shell script. If you wanted to kill a while loop running from the shell you'd have to kill the shell it is running in. So you'd kill a bash / sh/ csh etc process that is actually running a built-in while.

pgrep == process grep
pkill == process kill
right?
are there other useful psomething commands we can use?
Thanks a lot in advance
