Ah. So, using kill -l, I see SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGQUIT, SIGTRAP, SIGABRT, and SIGKILL, all of which seem to be closely related. So I still have some reading to do to understand it and know what to do (as opposed to following blindly the advice of people who maybe really know what's going on :-). Wait a minute! there's no description of kill with no parameter. and man, as usual, has no useful information. More googling, I guess. jp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
