What this snippet does
SIGKILL cannot be caught, so buffers go unflushed and lock files are left behind.
Expected output
nginx.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=9/KILL
Why practise typing this
Typing processes code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation Linux uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
