I had over 20 instances of httpd (apache) processes running, so I decided to shutdown these. Normally I use killall, But when I typed killall httpd it just said:

No matching processes belonging to you were found

I guess thats weird, so I tried pkill and were able to kill all the running processes. I have Looked at this answer but that didn't give me enough information on this. Why is this?

  • Doesn't your linked question answer yours? killall does exact matching but pkill does not. Is that not the answer? – jw013 Dec 03 '14 at 20:55
  • Apache doesn't belong to you. It belongs to user www. Second Service Daemons aren't usually listed as processes – eyoung100 Dec 03 '14 at 21:25
