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
