Hi, It seems that bash's built-in kill behaves different from /bin/kill, ksh's kill, and from what I would expect (this happens in all the versions of bash that I tested).
What I would expect (and what /bin/kill a.o. seem to do): kill -0 <PIDS> fails if one or more of the pid parameters is invalid What bash does: kill -0 <PIDS> succeeds if one or more of the pid parameters is valid I couldn't find a complete spec of what is correct/wrong in any formal UNIX spec till now.
