Incorrect.  pkill has been in for some time, and it was moved to /usr/bin
(from /usr/proc/bin) as of Solaris 7.  I highly recommend putting
/usr/proc/bin into the path of any Solaris user, the commands in there are
frighteningly useful.

Correct.  Naturally, if you're not running as root there are no severe
consequences.
