Finds broad process kills and recursive deletes, except traps that remove mktemp paths. At level all, also reports discarded failures.

Part of the [`bash`](/reference/configurations/bash/) configuration, at the `recommended` [level](/start/concepts/#levels). It runs at the `commit` [stage](/start/concepts/#stage), per file. gspot runs this check itself.

## Why

Each of these lets a script silently destroy something by mistake.

## What to do

Handle the failure. For required cleanup, use `gspot ignore bash/safety` with `--rule`, `--paths`, and `--reason`.

## Example

`killall worker` reports `broad-kill`. Stop the one process by its ID, or ignore the rule for that script with a reason.

## Turn it off

Turn it off for some files, with a reason:

```shell
gspot ignore bash/safety --paths "<glob>" --reason "<why>"
```
