Yeah, ok, I forgot that in my youth the number one was typed by using the key 
immediately right of the K and the number zero was typed by using Shift and the key 
between I and P.  I really meant "kill -l" using the letter to the right of the K, not 
that numeric symbol on the top row of the keyboard.  Been a long time since I used 
"kill -9 -1" -- I got out of the habit during my time on HPUX.

And if anyone wants to try Jared's approach, be sure to log in as the oracle user on a 
critical production system and have your resume up to date 8-)

Kevin,

Too much work!

Just use:   kill -9 -1

;)  you better read the man page first on this one.

I found this once but can't seem to find the full details at the moment. 
This will help though (Solaris8):

kill -l  # lists all kill signal names

kill -l KILL  # lists numeric equivalent for signal name KILL

and then if you wish to obsess on the subject:

for x in $(kill -l)
do
print $x $(kill -l $x)
done

I was wondering where a list of kill signals (kill -1,
kill -9 etc) can be found.

I've always used kill -9 but I'd rather try something
less drastic first, even though I've never run into
problems using kill -9 pid before.  man pages don't
seem to list the signals (Solaris 7).

thanks
