Yup, I implemented killall5 for Linux as part of sysvinit. I was
surprised as well to find out that all Linux distributions came with
a 'killall' which is very different from the one on all
non-linux systems, but nobody seemed interested in renaming
the linux-killall, so the sysv killall on linux now is called
killall5.
