prockill
Kill, suspend, or resume a process by PID or port. Supports tree kill, signal selection, and zombie process handling. Preview with dry_run.
Instructions
Kills, suspends, or resumes a process by PID or port number. Supports tree kill (process + all children), signal selection (kill/term/hup/int/stop/cont). Use signal=stop to suspend and signal=cont to resume a process. On Linux, can detect and handle zombie processes by signaling their parent. Use dry_run=true to preview which processes would be affected. Safety: refuses to target PID 0/1 or the agent-tool process itself.
