killall -i[id] init command working ?

[Abdul_Haseeb]

when i use killall -1 init command in terminal it will give me an error that " init(1): Operation not permitted "

for i in `seq 1 100`;
do
killall -$i init
done

but the above script will kill some process. Can any one guide me what actually this command do and why it will restart my system when i run this script ?

After several runs of the script my system became halt, i want to know that reason ?

i am not using sudo permission.

init 1 : Single user mode or emergency mode means no network no multitasking is present in this mode only root has access in this runlevel

Sorry, I cannot.
And it is considered poor manners to send PMs to folks who haven't asked you to do so.

Good day and good luck.

Is this a good manner to advices some one publicly?

Yes, lots of people read these posts, sometime years from now. So publicly saying "PMing is poor manners" publicly is doing not just you, but others a service.
