  Or, if you don't mind killing all of the processes owned by you
instead of just the ones you started from your login shell, you can
just do "kill -HUP -1" in newer BSD systems.  Everything will get the
HUP signal.

  This is also useful if you're on an X workstation and your login
xterm dies somehow but doesn't log you out.  "kill -9 -1" does a
pretty good job of terminating the login session quickly :-).
