Package: procps
Version: 1:3.3.9-1
Severity: minor
/bin/kill doesn't appear to generate any error output (but does exit
1) if the process-id specified does not exist:
$ kill 4242
-bash: kill: (4242) - No such process
$ /bin/kill 4242
This is confusing because it's different from the output from the
built-in 'kill' command in bash, and leads the user to expect that the
command was successful ("no news is good news").
