PATH
--
an empty string in `$PATH` is equivalent to `.`, so prepending `:` to your PATH, effectively includes the CWD into the PATH, giving it priority over everything else in the PATH, which is incredibly dangerous.
in `killall` the parameter `-1` is - differnently to `kill` NOT interpreted as signal, but is a special variable for "applies to everything except PID1 and self". Therefore no signal is given, and the default one (15, SIGTERM) will be applied to each and every PID (but is then usually reduced again to the searchterm given). So `killall -1 java` does in pseudocode effectively: `where name is java; do [ ! PID == 1 ] && kill -s 15 $name; done` ...very dangerous
you'd normally expect, that `grep -irl` will find an expression to grep for at the desired location, but it does not, if symlinks are into play. Use `grep -iRl`instead.
