On bsu-cs, two very popular commands are called "suicide" and "die".
Relevant lines from "suicide" are:

   kill (-1, SIGTERM);	/* give each process a software termination signal */
   sleep (3);		/* and give it 3 seconds to clean up */
   kill (-1, SIGKILL);	/* then kill each process with extreme prejudice */

"Die" is more drastic, using SIGKILL unconditionally.
