Hey Everyone! I just posted a new video for this week - Controlling Office with Terminal. I go over how to download and deploy Office by using only the Terminal. Near the end of the video, I also demo the new facility in 16.26 and later where you can gracefully kill Office apps from the command-line. Let me know if you have any questions.

+12Hi @marklamont there's documentation for for the curl command within macOS itself (i.e. man curl). The switches I used in the video were -LOJ and -I, so you'll find the descriptions for these on the man page.
pkill is also a core macOS command, so that has a man page as well - if you want to look at all 32 different signals that you can send a process. In the demo at the end, I used -SIGHUP, which is the mechanism that we've standardized on for IT admins to indicate to us that they need the process to die, and we'll do our very best attempt to shut down gracefully and save any work.
