Doesn’t explain OPs task management example. And won’t crash the kernel, just make things unresponsive

it didn’t crash the kernel, it just killed every process that isn’t run by the root user, which kind of feels like a crash

Ah, that definitely would feel like a crash. Sent kill signal to cgroup accidentally? Or just iterate over all processes and signal them all?

probably the later, but idk how, all I did was insert a string in the following command like this:

``Command::new(“bash”)

.arg(“-c”) .arg(format!(“ps -aux | grep -i "}" awk '{{print $2}’ | xagrs kill -9”, input)

.output()

.expect(“error”);``

I’ve tested the command and it worked flawlessly in the terminal, but I have no idea what I’m doing, since I’m new to rust and never worked with this library
