Package: procps
Version: 1:3.3.3-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

/bin/kill -9 -1 does not work (at least as documented in manpage)

I get the following answer:

/bin/kill: invalid option -- '1'

Usage:
 kill [options] <pid> [...]

Options:
 <pid> [...]            send signal to every <pid> listed
 -<signal>, -s, --signal <signal>
                        specify the <signal> to be sent
 -l, --list=[<signal>]  list all signal names, or convert one to a name
 -L, --table            list all signal names in a nice table

 -h, --help     display this help and exit
 -V, --version  output version information and exit

For more details see kill(1)


note that this is related to options parsing since

/bin/kill -9 -- -1 does the job
