Pretty much sums up how I use the app on a daily basis. It's a baseball watching companion. App on the tablet, one game on the TV.
* favorite team on the TV, app following action around the league in real time.
* favorite team game over or off day, bounce around interesting games on the TV (I'm an MLB.tv subscriber). Braves down 1 in the 9th and Acuña coming up let me flip that game on. Cole is on the mound for the Yanks let's see how he looks. Etc.
* keep tabs on games I have bets on.
Baseball is a daily sport. If you have a favorite team that's the one game that's on the TV. But I'm still interested in what's happening around the league. So have the app on the tablet with every other game and new scoring alerts.
Suggesting kill first before kill -9 seems like a good idea. Like you said kill is an important tool. Like you said this is for beginners so its up to you how much more detail to go into with the command.
As already stated, a process cannot respond to KILL signal, not allowing it to cleanup after itself. In many cases this may be OK or irrelevant, but you should never use -9 as a first resort. -9 is a last resort.
Ever kill -9 an unresponsive rails server process only to find that you have to manually rm the tmp server.pid file? That's because you used -9 ;).
When introducing kill, don't use -9. Not a good way for a beginner to learn kill. Guess you weren't kidding with "Learn Enough Command Line to Be Dangerous". Understood that it's a draft. Coming together nicely.
