The manual doesn't currently mention any pitfalls of kill. Unix version 7 didn't support 'kill -TERM'. I don't know which Unixes have it these days, but I suspect most do. POSIX (without the XSI extension) doesn't support either syntax; you're supposed to say 'kill -s TERM'. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
