Bug Description
The error message is "no process found". If I shorten the name of the binary to 15 characters, killall works as before. The change was introduced by Ubuntu 19.04.
Example:
# server_with_16ch &
# killall server_with_16ch
server_with_16ch: no process found

Thank you for your bug report, it has been reported to Debian as well and seems a side effect of kernel changes, https:/
