Dumping core

I love the constant Star Trek references on Lemmy.

Also that the proper procedure is to first kill oneself & then others. So many get that wrong.

Actually, you have to kill your children before yourself.

They become zombie processes if you kill yourself while they're still alive.

Yes, ofc, you need mana first, that's why you procured children with unique PIDs.
