KILL(1CSH)              COMMAND REFERENCE              KILL(1CSH)



NAME
     kill - send signal to jobs (csh built-in)

SYNOPSIS
     kill [ -signal ] process...
     kill -l

DESCRIPTION
     The kill command sends the specified signal (or TERM, if
     none is given) to the specified processes.  A process may
     either be a process id number or a specifier of the form
     %job as described in jobs(1csh). The signal argument may be
     either a signal number or a name as listed by the command
     kill -l.

     There is no default process, so executing kill with no
     process arguments does not send the signal to the current
     job.

     If the signal being sent is TERM (terminate) or HUP
     (hangup), the process is sent the CONT (continue) signal as
     well, to allow the process to handle the signal specially if
     it was stopped previously.

OPTIONS
     -l Print a list of valid signal names.  The list is printed
        in signal number order.

EXAMPLES
     Assume that job number 1 is the command ``make mycommand'',
     and has a process id of 6477.  Also, assume that there are
     no other make(1) jobs executing.  The following shows nine
     different ways to send the terminate (which is signal number
     15) signal to the process.

          kill %1
          kill %make
          kill 6477
          kill -TERM %1
          kill -TERM %make
          kill -TERM 6477
          kill -15 %1
          kill -15 %make
          kill -15 6477

RETURN VALUE
     [NO_ERRS]      Command completed without error.

     [1]            The process does not exist or is not owned by
                    the user.
