Different types of kill commands

[Suhas!]

Hi All,

I would like to know what are the different types of kill command in linux. i.e. kill, kill -0, kill -9, skill, pkill, killall, killproc, kill -SIGHUP, kill -HUP etc. What are their purpose and when to use it?

Kindly advise.

Try looking through:
man kill
(hehehe)
and
man -S 7 signal

I think that's what you were looking for...

^^ read the man page . Kill and killall are the "kill flavors" I normally used.
