Kill with signals
Hi all,


I am a beginning UNIX user and am looking for a list of possible signals (with explanation) that can be used with the command kill.

Any input would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

With kill -l you will get a list of all possible signals. Unfortunately the list does only contain the signal number and the name.

Bug
U can type man -k signal in your prompt and u will be getting the list of possible signals.

It also gives crisp explanations about almost all the signals.
But to my knowledge, for killing a process u use just kill with numbers like -9, -15,etc

Hope it helps.

view the file /usr/include/signal.h
It has all the signals and their corresponding numbers.
