Public bug reported:
Running the command
$ echo | xargs kill -15
kills everything in the current window session. If run from tty1:
$ echo | xargs kill -15
Terminated
And the window session is also killed.
Same command tested on CentOS 7, running procps 3.3.10, shows kill
command help.
Same command tested on Arch Linux, running procps 3.3.11, shows "kill:
not enough arguments".
