SYNOPSIS

This program can be used to determine which process is sending signals to which other process.

TO destination PID
SIG destination signal ("9" for a kill -9)
RESULT result of signal (-1 is for failure)
DOCUMENTATION
See the DTraceToolkit for further documentation under the Docs directory. The DTraceToolkit docs may include full worked examples with ver-
bose descriptions explaining the output.
EXIT
kill.d will run forever until Ctrl-C is hit.
