<p><br>NAME
<br> kill - terminate a process
<p>SYNOPSIS
<br> kill [ -s signal | -p ] [ -a ]
[ -- ] pid ...
<br> kill -l [ signal ]
<p>DESCRIPTION
<br> The command kill sends the
specified signal to the speci
<br> fied process or process group.
If no signal is specified,
<br> the TERM signal is
sent. The TERM signal will kill pro
<br> cesses which do not catch this
signal. For other pro
<br> cesses, it may
be necessary to use the KILL (9) signal,
<br> since this signal cannot be caught.
<p> Most modern shells have a builtin
kill function, with a
<br> usage rather similar
to that of the command described
<br> here. The `-a' and `-p' options,
and the possibility to
<br> specify pids by command name is
a local extension.
<p>OPTIONS
<br> pid... Specify the list of processes
that kill should sig
<br>
nal. Each pid can be one of five things:
<p>
n where n is larger than 0. The process
with
<br>
pid n will be signaled.
<p>
0 All processes in the current
process group
<br>
are signaled.
<p>
-1 All processes with pid larger than 1 will be
<br>
signaled.
<p>
-n where n is larger than 1. All processes
in
<br>
process group n are signaled. When an argu
<br>
ment of the form `-n' is given, and it is
<br>
meant to denote a process group, either the
<br>
signal must be specified first, or the argu
<br>
ment must be preceded by a `--' option, oth
<br>
erwise it will be taken as the signal to
<br>
send.
<p>
commandname
<br>
All processes invoked using that name will
<br>
be signaled.
<p> -s signal
<br>
Specify the signal to send. The signal
may be
<br>
given as a signal name or number.
<p> -l Print
a list of signal names. These are found in
<br>
/usr/include/linux/signal.h
<p> -a Do
not restrict the commandname-to-pid conversion
<br>
to processes with the same uid as the present pro
<br>
cess.
<p> -p Specify
that kill should only print the process id
<br>
(pid) of the named processes, and not send any sig
<br>
nals.
