I'm no REAL ADMIN - but I have a FreeBSD server box for my home LAN:

Anyway : I was new to FreeBSD - and had just about set it up EXACTLY as wanted; after much tinkering! I was then trying to update my fstab to include my floppy drive. Unfortunately, I did the stupid thing of "echo"ing the details in, sorta like:
Code:
echo /dev/fd0.1440 msdos /floppy rw,noauto 0 0 > /etc/fstab

Experts - can you spot the mistake? Yep, only 1 '>' - so when I rebooted, no drives mounted- ARRRGGGHHHH!

Fortunately, I inserted the boot "fixit" cd and edited the file after mounting the correct partition! My heart has NEVER beated so fast!

PTHREAD_KILL(3) 					     Linux Programmer's Manual						   PTHREAD_KILL(3)

NAME
pthread_kill - send a signal to a thread SYNOPSIS
#include <signal.h> int pthread_kill(pthread_t thread, int sig); Compile and link with -pthread. DESCRIPTION
The pthread_kill() function sends the signal sig to thread, a thread in the same process as the caller. The signal is asynchronously directed to thread. If sig is 0, then no signal is sent, but error checking is still performed; this can be used to check for the existence of a thread ID. RETURN VALUE
On success, pthread_kill() returns 0; on error, it returns an error number, and no signal is sent. ERRORS
EINVAL An invalid signal was specified. ESRCH No thread with the ID thread could be found. CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001. NOTES
Signal dispositions are process-wide: if a signal handler is installed, the handler will be invoked in the thread thread, but if the dispo- sition of the signal is "stop", "continue", or "terminate", this action will affect the whole process. SEE ALSO
