About: Xkill

An Entity of Type: work, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Xkill is a utility program distributed with the X Window System that instructs the X server to forcefully terminate its connection to a client, thus "killing" the client. When run with no command line arguments, the program displays a special cursor (usually a crosshair or a skull and crossbones) and displays a message such as Select the window whose client you wish to kill with button 1 ... If a non-root window is then selected, the server will close its connection to the client that created that window, and the window will be destroyed.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • xkill ist ein zum X Window System gehörendes Dienstprogramm, das den X-Server anweist, die Verbindung zu einem X-Client hart zu trennen, und somit den Client (in den meisten Fällen) zu „töten“ (englisch to kill). Unter einer grafischen Oberfläche, d. h. im X Window System, beendet man Programme üblicherweise durch einen Klick auf das Schließen-Button in der Titelleiste des Fensters, das zu dem Programm gehört. Historisch gewachsen ist dieses Button aus dem Programm xkill, dem „grafischen“ kill. Mithilfe dieses obligatorischen Hilfsprogrammes konnte man einen X-Client beenden, in dem man das ihm zugehörige X Window anklickte. Diese Funktionalität findet sich noch in einigen Fenstermanagern z. B. über die Tastenkombination Strg + Alt + Esc wieder, mit der man bei einer nicht mehr reagierenden grafischen Oberfläche den verantwortlichen X-Client durch Anklicken von dessen Fenster beenden kann.

If a non-root window is then selected, the server will close its connection to the client that created that window, and the window will be destroyed. Xkill is not intended to be used as a routine way to terminate X client programs, but only as a last resort to abort malfunctioning or malicious clients. Unlike kill, xkill does not request that the client process, which may be running on a different machine, be terminated. In fact, the process can continue running without an X connection. Most clients, however, do abort when their X connections are unexpectedly closed. Xkill has been cited as an example of a program with a simple and appealing user interface. Its mode of operation has been summed up as "Just click the bad thing with the skull and it dies." (en)
  • O xkill é um programa do X Window System que permite terminar clientes/programas. (pt)
  • xkill是一個X Window System上的公用程式,用途是強制中止X伺服器與X客戶端的連線,進而kill這個客戶端。當執行此程式而沒有加上任何參數時,游標會出現不一樣的圖案,而在終端機畫面上出現 Select the window whose client you wish to kill with button 1.... 此時若滑鼠點擊一個非root的視窗,這個視窗就會被關閉。 Xkill並不是關閉視窗的正常程序,而是非不得以才使用的最後手段。與kill不同的是,xkill不一定會關閉客戶端的程序,此程序可以不經過X連線而繼續執行。 (zh)
