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.
