What I see (in 5.2, and 5.3 alpha 1) is: jacaranda$ bash-5.3a1 -c '( kill -9 $BASHPID )' bash-5.3a1: line 1: 29765 Killed ( kill -9 $BASHPID ) I have no idea what you think that "9" is useful for, IMO it is a waste of space, and just confusing (and yes, I know SIGKILL is 9). Similarly, in an interactive shell I see: jacaranda$ ( kill -9 $BASHPID ) Killed That's perfectly good enough for me, no need to change things for no good reason. kre
