     NAME
          kill - terminate a process

     SYNOPSIS
          kill [ -signo | -signame ] PID ...

     DESCRIPTION
          Kill sends signal 15 (terminate) to the specified processes.
          This will normally kill processes that do not catch or
          ignore the signal.  The shell reports the process number of
          each asynchronous process started with & unless more than
          one process is started in a pipeline.  If more than one
          process is started in a pipeline, the number of the last
          process in the pipeline is reported.  Process numbers can
          also be found by using ps(1).  For more details about kill,
          see kill(2).

          The killed process must belong to the current user unless he
          or she is the superuser.

          If a signal number or name preceded by - is the first
          argument, that signal is sent instead of the terminate
          signal (see signal(2) or /usr/include/sys/signal.h).  Signal
          number 9 (as in kill -9 ...) is a sure kill.  If process
          number 0 is specified, all processes in the process group
          are signaled.

     EXAMPLES
          $ ps

             PID  TTY  TIME  COMMAND
             976   12  0:14       sh
            2620   12  0:02       sh
            2740   12  0:00       ps

          $ kill 2620

          $ ps

             PID  TTY  TIME  COMMAND
             976   12  0:14       sh
            2873   12  0:00       ps
          $

          In this example, the ps command displays the status
          information of the active processes started from the current
          terminal.  The kill command terminates process number 2620
          as shown by the second ps command.
