.SH DESCRIPTION
These tools are obsolete and unportable.  The command syntax is
poorly defined.  Consider using the killall, pkill, and pgrep
commands instead.
.PP
The default signal for skill is TERM.  Use \-l or \-L to list
available signals.  Particularly useful signals include HUP, INT,
KILL, STOP, CONT, and 0.  Alternate signals may be specified in three
ways: \-9 \-SIGKILL \-KILL.
.PP
The default priority for snice is +4.  Priority numbers range from
+20 (slowest) to \-20 (fastest).  Negative priority numbers are
restricted to administrative users.
