User Commands (k - l) kill(1)
5. To send a different signal to a process, enter:
kill -s USR1 1103
This sends the SIGUSR1 signal to process 1103. The action taken on the SIGUSR1 sig-
nal is defined by the particular application you are running. (The name of the kill com-
mand is misleading because many signals, including SIGUSR1, do not terminate
processes.)

kill -l
1) HUP 17) USR2
2) INT 18) CHLD

identify by its cpu,pin, enter:

NOTES
The OSS kill command has both a shell built-in version and a regular version. The two versions
have the same features and functionality. The only difference between the two versions is that
the shell built-in version does not start a new shell process when it is invoked. Both versions are
described in the reference page for kill. The shell built-in version is the default. To specify the
regular version, use the full pathname: /bin/kill For more information about shell built-in com-
mands, refer to the reference page for sh(1).
