The person asking the question only said he was on a PC, not that he was
running Linux. Under Solaris, and most other unices, that command would
have unfortunate consequences.

(Actually, as given, it'd only print a usage message, but a naive user
might persevere until they managed to kill all processes on their machine).

Please don't assume that all UN*X PCs are running Linux.
