<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>

    <i>Kill</i> prints commands that will cause all processes with <i>name</i> and
    owned by the current user to be terminated. Each command is commented
    with an output line from <a href="../man1/ps.html"><i>ps</i>(1)</a> describing the process that would
    be killed. Use the <tt><font size=+1>send</font></tt> command of <a href="../man1/9term.html"><i>9term</i>(1)</a>, or pipe the output
    of <i>kill</i> into <a href="../man1/rc.html"><i>rc</i>(1)</a> or <a href="../man1/sh.html"><i>sh</i>(1)</a> to execute the
    commands. 
    <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
    
    <i>Kill</i> suggests sending a Unix <tt><font size=+1>TERM</font></tt> signal to the process; sending
    a <tt><font size=+1>KILL</font></tt> signal is a surer, if heavy handed, kill, but is necessary
    if the offending process is ignoring signals. The <i>slay</i> command
    prints commands to do this. 
    <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
    
    <i>Stop</i> prints commands to pause execution of processes by sending
    them the <tt><font size=+1>STOP</font></tt> signal. 
    <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
    
    <i>Start</i> prints commands to restart stopped processes by sending
    them the <tt><font size=+1>CONT</font></tt> signal.<br>
