16 .SH DESCRIPTION
17 .I Kill
18 prints commands that will cause all processes with 
19 .I name
20 and owned by the current user to be terminated.
21 Each command is commented with an output line from
22 .MR ps (1)
23 describing the process that would be killed.
24 Use the
25 .B send
26 command of
27 .MR 9term (1) ,
28 or pipe the output of
29 .I kill
30 into
31 .MR rc (1)
32 or
33 .MR sh (1)
34 to execute the commands.
35 .PP
36 .I Kill
37 suggests sending a Unix
38 .B TERM
39 signal to the process; 
40 sending a
41 .B KILL
42 signal is a surer, if heavy handed, kill,
43 but is necessary if the offending process is
44 ignoring signals.
45 The
46 .I slay
47 command prints commands to do this.
48 .PP
49 .I Stop
50 prints commands to pause execution of processes
51 by sending them the

53 signal.

55 .I Start
56 prints commands to restart stopped processes by sending them
57 the
58 .B CONT
59 signal.
