Which signal is commonly sent by command-line utilities to request a graceful termination of a process?
SIGQUIT
SIGSTOP
SIGTERM
SIGKILL
The SIGTERM
signal is used by system administrators to request a graceful termination of a process. When a process receives a SIGTERM
, it has the opportunity to perform clean-up actions such as closing files, releasing resources, and saving state before actually terminating. This is in contrast to SIGKILL
, which forcibly terminates the process without any clean-up. SIGQUIT
is designed to terminate processes and generate a core dump for debugging purposes, which is not typically used for graceful terminations. SIGSTOP
is used to pause a process, not terminate it.
