# The `s6-linux-init-nuke` program

s6-linux-init-nuke kills all processes immediately.

## Interface

         s6-linux-init-nuke

s6-linux-init-nuke sends a SIGKILL to every process on the system. (Process 1 will be unaffected.)

Do not try this at home.

## Notes

- This program only exists so the s6-linux-init package can be self-contained and avoid relying on the existence of an external `kill` program. It is only run in the very improbable case that s6-svscan crashes, in a container situation.
