kill - send a signal to a process

<A NAME="lbAC"> </A>
|
|
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2>
|
|
|
|
<B>kill</B>
|

|
|
[options] <pid> [...]
|

|
|
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
The default signal for kill is TERM. Use
|
|
<B>-l</B>
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
<B>-L</B>
|
|
|
|
to list available signals. Particularly useful signals include HUP,
|
|
INT, KILL, STOP, CONT, and 0. Alternate signals may be specified in
|
|
three ways:
|
|
<B>-9</B>, <B>-SIGKILL</B>
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
<B>-KILL</B>.
|
|
|
|
Negative PID values may be used to choose whole process groups; see
|
|
the PGID column in ps command output. A PID of
|
|
<B>-1</B>
|
|
|
|
is special; it indicates all processes except the kill process itself
|
|
and init.

<H2>STANDARDS</H2>

Albert Cahalan
|
|
|
|
wrote kill in 1999 to replace a bsdutils one that was not standards
|
|
compliant. The util-linux one might also work correctly.
