cat /dev/zero > "/proc/$(pidof vim)/mem" is my favorite dumb way. Clear its memory, wait for the segfault.

...you can write to program memory? Idk how exactly but that feels like a security risk.

nintendiator@feddit.cl · 6 pts · 3y (1 reply)

It's your process, why shouldn't you be able to write to it? Vi is certainly doing it...

Eufalconimorph@discuss.tchncs.de · 5 pts · 3y

You do need to be root to do it to arbitrary processes.

dumb way.

Get fancy, add progress bar: pv < /dev/zero > "/proc/$(pidof vim)/mem"

that's exactly what i wanted the last command to do.

i just didn't know you can target jobs,
and settled with quitting the shell instead
