KILL(1) 							Linux User's Manual							   KILL(1)

NAME

       kill - send a signal to a process

SYNOPSIS

       kill [ -signal | -s signal ] pid ...
       kill [ -L | -V, --version ]
       kill -l	[ signal ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  default  signal  for  kill is TERM. Use -l or -L to list available signals.  Particularly useful signals include HUP, INT, KILL, STOP,
       CONT, and 0.  Alternate signals may be specified in three ways: -9 -SIGKILL -KILL.  Negative PID values may be used to choose whole process
       groups;	see  the  PGID	column in ps command output. A PID of -1 is special; it indicates all processes except the kill process itself and
       init.

SIGNALS

       The signals listed below may be available for use with kill.  When known constant, numbers and default behavior are shown.

       Name	Num   Action	Description
       0	  0   n/a	exit code indicates if a signal may be sent
       ALRM	 14   exit
       HUP	  1   exit
       INT	  2   exit
       KILL	  9   exit	cannot be blocked
       PIPE	 13   exit
       POLL	      exit
       PROF	      exit
       TERM	 15   exit
       USR1	      exit
       USR2	      exit
       VTALRM	      exit
       STKFLT	      exit	might not be implemented
       PWR	      ignore	might exit on some systems
       WINCH	      ignore
       CHLD	      ignore
       URG	      ignore
       TSTP	      stop	might interact with the shell
       TTIN	      stop	might interact with the shell
       TTOU	      stop	might interact with the shell
       STOP	      stop	cannot be blocked
       CONT	      restart	continue if stopped, otherwise ignore
       ABRT	  6   core
       FPE	  8   core
       ILL	  4   core
       QUIT	  3   core
       SEGV	 11   core
       TRAP	  5   core
       SYS	      core	might not be implemented
       EMT	      core	might not be implemented
       BUS	      core	core dump might fail
       XCPU	      core	core dump might fail
       XFSZ	      core	core dump might fail

NOTES

       Your shell (command line interpreter) may have a built-in kill command.	You may need to run the command described  here  as  /bin/kill	to
       solve the conflict.

EXAMPLES

       kill -9 -1
	      Kill all processes you can kill.

       kill -l 11
	      Translate number 11 into a signal name.

       kill -L
	      List the available signal choices in a nice table.

       kill 123 543 2341 3453
	      Send the default signal, SIGTERM, to all those processes.

SEE ALSO

       pkill(1), skill(1), kill(2), renice(1), nice(1), signal(7), killall(1).

STANDARDS

       This command meets appropriate standards. The -L flag is Linux-specific.

AUTHOR

       Albert  Cahalan	<albert@users.sf.net>  wrote  kill  in 1999 to replace a bsdutils one that was not standards compliant. The util-linux one
       might also work correctly.
