Incompatibility: one verbose, one not. $ kill -1 1812 1818 1825 1826 1857 bash: kill: (1812) - No such process bash: kill: (1818) - No such process... $ /bin/kill -1 1812 1818 1825 1826 1857 $
Or at least also mention /bin/kill here $ help kill ...Kill is a shell builtin for two reasons... $ man kill mentions to see also the shell's builtin, but bash doesn't return the favor. _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
