The command "fkill" is a command-line utility in some operating systems, specifically designed to simplify and provide an alternative to the traditional "kill" command. It aims to make terminating processes easier and more intuitive.

When you run the "fkill" command, it typically displays a list of running processes along with their corresponding process IDs (PIDs) and other details. Instead of having to remember or look up the PID of the process you want to terminate, "fkill" allows you to select the process by using arrow keys or typing the process name. Once you have selected the desired process, you can press enter to kill or terminate it.

This command is particularly useful when you have multiple processes running simultaneously and want a quicker and more visual way to terminate them without needing to know the specific process IDs. It simplifies the process management and enhances productivity for users working with command-line interfaces.
