TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
This is a vocabulary question and, without knowing the context, any answer is guessework. The word "force" is actually used a lot in computing, e.g.
-f "force" is a switch in some commands to force overwriting, etc.
"Forced EC" is a modem setting
OSX has a "Force Quit" command
You can "brute force" a password... etc.
Though it seems a little harsh out of context, it may be appropriate in context, like "kill" (another Unix command).
