Note: The signal_numbers (3 and 6) associated with SIGQUIT and SIGABRT,
respectively, differ from the values of SIGQUIT and SIGABRT used by the
z/OS kernel, but they are supported for compatibility with other UNIX
platforms. (The kill command will send the z/OS SIGQUIT or SIGABRT to
the process.) (This note is also true for kill in the tcsh shell.)
job-identifier
Is the job identifier reported by the shell when a process is started with &. It
is one way to identify a process. It is also reported by the jobs command.
When using the job identifier with the kill command, the job identifier must
be prefaced with a percent (%) sign. For example, if the job identifier is 2,
the kill command would be entered as follows:
kill –s KILL %2
pid Is the process ID that the shell reports when a process is started with &.
You can also find it using the ps command. The pid argument is a number
that may be specified as octal, decimal, or hex. Process IDs are reported in
decimal. kill supports negative values for pid.
If pid is negative but not −1, the signal is sent to all processes whose
process group ID is equal to the absolute value of pid. The negative pid is
specified in this way:
kill –KILL –– –nn

where nn is the process group ID and may have a range of 2 to 7 digits (nn
to nnnnnnn).
