Answer 3

you can
use the kill command

Answer 4

Can.
You can even kill the terminal process itself, from which the command is called.
You can even kill the entire system by deleting one file :)

Answer 5

just turn off the pc

Answer 6

Direct answer to the question

ps ax | awk '{print $1}' | xargs kill

And it is better not to do this on a live system, the result is not predictable.

Answer 7

Why unpredictable? The first in the awk PID 1 list is /sbin/init.
When I ran this full command, my session just ended without warning and without saving data in applications (well, I didn’t open or do anything much, and the tab browser restored itself) .
Interestingly, manually killing a process with PID 1 does not work (operation not allowed).
