Kill processes by name interactively (like killall, except that not necessarily all and interactive by design).
Processes are to be distinguished from one another by threads and subprocesses they forked (pstree output), as well as usual process parameters such as PID, launch time, etc.

Usage: killsome [-
Options:
--help Print this message
--version Print version number
--signal Signal to be sent [default: "TERM"]
--pid, -p Show PID [default: true]
--ppid, -P Show PPID [default: false]

--start, -s Show START [default: true]
--cpu, -C Show %CPU [default: false]
--mem, -M Show %MEM [default: false]

--signal accepts both numbers and symbolic names and also has a shorter form:
`
killsome --signal=9
killsome --signal KILL
killsome -KILL
Every boolean option can be negated with --no-, e.g. killsome --no-pid .
`
$ killsome fish
You will be presented with all found instances and process trees they are roots of.

kill:
`
Enter indices of instances to kill, in a single line (e.g. 1, 01, 012). Here, fish with 9 threads is the process I would kill, so I enter 3.
If there are no more than 10 matches, a string of digits is a perfectly valid input. Otherwise, choices must be separated by commas or spaces: 1 2 12, 1,2,12, or any possible combination.
`shell``
npm install -g killsome
