Thanks Paul - yes, contrary to what I expected, /bin/kill is not the
same as kill:

Code:
--------------------
    tc@pCP:~$ /bin/kill --help
  BusyBox v1.31.1 (2020-12-18 22:25:41 EST) multi-call binary.
  
  Usage: kill [-l] [-SIG] PID...
  
  Send a signal (default: TERM) to given PIDs
  
        -l      List all signal names and numbers
  
  tc@pCP:~$ kill --help
  sh: bad signal name '-help'
--------------------


So that explains the apparent anomaly with the path, but as you say, it
doesn't explain why the ash version isn't doing its job.

Thanks for the other tips - very useful.

And thanks too for the alternative approach that you posted earlier.  I
haven't had time to study it, but it certainly looks more
straightforward than this udev approach.
