| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .I Kill |
| prints commands that will cause all processes with |
| .I name |
| and owned by the current user to be terminated. |
| Each command is commented with an output line from |
| .IR ps (1) |
| describing the process that would be killed. |
| Use the |
| .B send |
| command of |
| .IR 9term (1), |
| or pipe the output of |
| .I kill |
| into |
| .IR rc (1) |
| or |
| .IR sh (1) |
| to execute the commands. |
| .PP |
| .I Kill |
| suggests sending a Unix |
| .B TERM |
| signal to the process; |
| sending a |
| .B KILL |
| signal is a surer, if heavy handed, kill, |
| but is necessary if the offending process is |
| ignoring signals. |
| The |
| .I slay |
| command prints commands to do this. |
| .PP |
| .I Stop |
| prints commands to pause execution of processes |
| by sending them the |
| .B STOP |
| signal. |
| .PP |
| .I Start |
| prints commands to restart stopped processes by sending them |
| the |
| .B CONT |
| signal. |
