Hi Clint, I'm glad we agree. For information, zsh is the only shell I know that doesn't recognise kill -s 1 instead of kill -s HUP. The Bourne shell's kill at least on Solaris recognises neither kill -s 1 nor kill -s HUP. It recognises kill -HUP and kill -1 though. Admitedly, the Bourne shell is not meant to be POSIX compliant. But that still makes it difficult to write something portable to any "sh" (which not what posh is about, that's understood).
