it doesnt matter if they're builtins, they still need to follow POSIX > kill -HUP > `cat /var/run/mDNSResponderPosix.pid` >&/dev/null possible bashism in > /etc/init.d/mDNSResponderPosix line 35 (kill -[0-9] or -[A-Z]): kill -HUP POSIX states that `kill [-signal_name]` is valid syntax. if the shell doesnt support it, then it isnt POSIX complaint and therefore it sucks and is not worth consideration. -mike
