'Course the original kill should've been call sig or something because
that's all it really does - sends signals to processes,
hence
kill -9 123
is really kill -KILL 123
whereas kill -HUP 123
just sends the HUP signal to process 123.
Actually signal 9 seems to be the only common signal number with the
different Unixes.
Better to use the signal name (eg HUP) than the number if you use different
OSs during the day...
Some of the GUI versions of process viewers can be fun, eg sun's sdtprocess
where you can filter things out. I haven't seen a Linux version of something
like this, although top isn't bad.
