<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
|
|
|
|
A signal is sent to a given process. By default signal 15 (SIGTERM) is
|
|
sent. Process 0 means all the processes in the sender's process group.
|
|
A process group can be signalled by the negative value of the process
|
|
group ID. Signals may be numerical, or the name of the signal without
|
|
<STRONG>SIG</STRONG>.
