Package: procps Version: 1:3.3.2-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
the documentation for /bin/kill does not state how to properly kill process group. It mentions negative PID value may be used, but it fails to mention the PID must be separated from signal number using "--". RHEL man page describe this better (IMHO): "When an argument of the form -n is given, and it is meant to denote a process group, either the signal must be specified first, or the argument must be preceded by a -- option, otherwise it will be taken as the signal to send." -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to sk_SK.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages procps depends on: ii initscripts 2.88dsf-22.1 ii libc6 2.13-32 ii libncurses5 5.9-7 ii libncursesw5 5.9-7 ii libprocps0 1:3.3.2-3 ii libtinfo5 5.9-7 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian3 Versions of packages procps recommends: ii psmisc 22.16-1 procps suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
