2001-12-20 22:31:48 +03:00
The
1999-09-18 22:45:39 +04:00
.Nm
utility sends a signal to the process(es) specified
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
by the pid operand(s).
.Pp
Only the super-user may send signals to other users' processes.
.Pp
The options are as follows:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width Ds
1993-07-22 20:42:16 +04:00
.It Fl s Ar signal_name
A symbolic signal name specifying the signal to be sent instead of the
default
.Dv TERM .

.It Fl l Op Ar signal_number
1994-09-22 13:24:46 +04:00
If no operand is given, list the signal names; otherwise, write
the signal name corresponding to
2001-12-20 22:31:48 +03:00
.Ar signal_number
2000-05-13 21:04:04 +04:00
provided.
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
.It Fl signal_name
A symbolic signal name specifying the signal to be sent instead of the

.Nm
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
is a built-in to
.Xr csh 1 ;
it allows job specifiers of the form ``%...'' as arguments
so process id's are not as often used as
1997-10-20 12:50:59 +04:00
.Nm
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
arguments.
