kill

Overview

kill never accepts an arbitrary path. It removes only known lil-terminal files and state: choose one layer with -install, -include or -cache, or use bare kill for complete removal.

Removal is limited to known lil-terminal layers

There is no path argument to aim at an arbitrary directory. Layer flags remove only extension, interface or cache state; complete kill also clears lil-terminal-owned authorization, history and browser state while preserving unrelated host-site session namespaces.

Syntax

kill [-install|-include|-cache]

Reference

Complete removal

A complete kill removes known terminal files, authorization data, installed extensions, interface assets, persistent .lil.log.php history, startup files, temporary core buffers, PHP session state and browser-side lil-terminal history. In protected web installations it also removes the generated private gateway and public setup files when they carry the expected lil-terminal structure.

Cache cleanup

kill -cache removes lil-owned transient files in the core directory, expires temporary download archives tracked by the current session and clears transient upload and last-result state. It does not remove the terminal or installed modules.

Interface cleanup

kill -include clears session interface blocks and removes persistent .lil.css and .lil.js. Legacy .shell.css and .shell.js are removed as well. The next page load uses the interface embedded in the current core.

Authorization dependency

Authenticated builds keep kill available because the authorization policy may invoke complete removal after its configured failure threshold. Installer therefore refuses to remove kill while authorization is active.

Safety

The command operates only on known lil-terminal paths and never accepts an arbitrary target. Signed or generated web files are removed only when their expected lil-terminal markers are present. If any owned file cannot be deleted, the remaining paths are reported instead of being ignored.

Install and manage

Install the current compatible version. Choose Base for the complete feature set or Minimum for the reduced package; use upgrade to update a module that is already installed.

Base and Minimum are two packages of the same current module release, not separate command versions.
