It's hard to remember the numbers of all the signals. I know my poor brain cannot hold all that information. So let me pass on a tip which might be useful, especially for people used to other Unix systems which don't use the BSD version of kill. BSD kill which Linux uses lets you use the symbolic names of signals (minus the SIG) instead of the numbers. so instead of kill 3 you would do kill -QUIT, instead of kill -9 kill -KILL etc. -- Jaldhar -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
