My quick google yielded the following: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/kill.html "The sig argument is the value specified by the -s option, - signal_number option, or the - signal_name option, or by SIGTERM, if none of these options is specified." -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
