Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers what happens when user does kill 1 Post 302224601 by Perderabo on Wednesday 13th of August 2008 01:55:45 PM

By the way, with modern versions of unix you have no way to even try to signal process 0. The kill system call uses a process of -1 and 0 to mean two collections of processes. This is documented of the kill(2) man page and it's required by posix. This change occurred roughly about the same time as versions of unix had a process 0. I'm not sure if any version of unix ever had both a process 0 and a way to signal it.
