because these commands are cool and useful
also... kill the PID not the process name.

kill the PID not the process name.
There is killall to kill processes by name.
right, yeah I forgot to be clear.
the PID is indicated in both kill and ps -e
I have used killall before.

Oh, and I learned about a program/command called "strings" which
displays the content of binary data in a shell or terminal... I might be
slightly incorrect in my description, but more or less cannot print
binary data to the screen; you need this "strings" program. This I think
comes built in.

I learned about a program/command called "strings" which displays the content of binary data
"strings prints the printable character sequences" of a non-text files, as the manual says. So, not what is in binary.
Ah, well, I suppose you expect me to say that that is what I meant.
However, thank you.

Wow! 'ls -R' is awesome - that's a great tip.
