- kill: $name verb for scripts

[jhheider]

Currently, to ensure killing a process (in a test, usually), we need the following:

test:
  dependencies:
    linux:
      gitlab.com/procps-ng/procs: '*'
  env:
    darwin:
      KILL: killall
    linux:
      KILL: pkill -x
  script:
    - $KILL something || true

This feels a little bit like boilerplate. We should consider adding a kill script verb to replace all of the above with

test:
  - kill: something

Seems fine.

Ideally ofc, test can kill everything that is launched, but this is above my knowledge level on how to achieve it.

Presumably an alias declared in the test boilerplate would work.

I think this boilerplate isn't really necessary. All we need is the killall command for Linux, which is part of the psmisc project. Pretty much every distribution has it in their standard repositories, with the exact same name. All we might need is to make it available on the Linux test (or even build?) CI. Or, am I missing something?

[mxcl]

That's probably the better solution yes.

[jhheider]

also workable; just need to package psmisc. that'll remove the env: vars.

I tried pkging this up, but it is a beast. Seemingly requires automake^1.10 but building that is problematic
