Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.26
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/checkbashisms
checkbashisms considers `kill -9` as a bashism:
$ echo "#!/bin/sh" > tmp
$ echo "kill -9 foo" >> tmp
$ checkbashisms tmp
possible bashism in tmp line 2 (kill -[0-9] or -[A-Z]):
kill -9 foo
Actually, according to POSIX, such a usage is perfectly valid:
$ man -e posix kill | grep ^SYNOPSIS -A 10 | grep .
SYNOPSIS
kill -s signal_name pid ...
kill -l [exit_status]
kill [-signal_name] pid ...
kill [-signal_number] pid ...
