EXTRA
## Examples Terminate a program using the default SIGTERM (terminate) signal: kill {{process_id}} List available signal names (to be used without the `SIG` prefix): kill -l Terminate a program using the SIGHUP (hang up) signal. Many daemons will reload instead of terminating: kill {{[-1|-HUP]}} {{process_id}} Terminate a program using the SIGINT (interrupt) signal. This is typically initiated by the user pressing `<Ctrl c>`: kill {{[-2|-INT]}} {{process_id}} Signal the operating system to immediately terminate a program (which gets no chance to capture the signal): kill {{[-9|-KILL]}} {{process_id}} Signal the operating system to pause a program until a SIGCONT ("continue") signal is received: kill {{[-19|-STOP]}} {{process_id}} Send a `SIGUSR1` signal to all processes with the given GID (group id): kill -SIGUSR1 -{{group_id}} > The examples are provided by the [tldr-pages project](https://tldr.sh) under the [CC BY 4.0 License](https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/blob/main/LICENSE.md). > > Please note that, as uutils is a work in progress, some examples might fail.
