OH. MY. GOD. The absolute HORROR of having non-tech friends peek at your search history! ๐ฑ There you are, innocently Googling "how to kill child of fork" like the responsible process manager you are, and suddenly everyone thinks you're plotting a tiny-tined murder spree! For the blissfully unaware: in programming, particularly in Unix/Linux systems, a "fork" creates a "child process" from a "parent process." And sometimes those children need to be... *dramatic whisper* TERMINATED. It's not murder, it's MEMORY MANAGEMENT, KAREN! ๐
The FBI agent monitoring my searches is probably on stress leave by now. "I swear officer, I was just trying to clean up zombie processes!"
