Back at Bell Labs, runninb UNIX, I occasionally had to kill jobs in process, using KILL. Now, I am somewhat confused as to what the proper syntax is, and I am stuck with the following two jobs, hello, and hell (no swearing, just a modified 'hello;). Can an expert provide me with the proper KILL syntax for killing these jobs. I do remember that the number 9 may have been used, as it appears to be a 'KILL' instruct. Thanks.

/home/tfilm.213:jobs
[2] +  Running                 hello
[1] -  Running                 hell

Doesn't KILL alsu make use of the (bracketed) job number, i.e. [2] and [1[?
