.SH DESCRIPTION
These tools are obsolete and unportable.  The command syntax is
poorly defined.  Consider using the
.BR killall ,

and
.B pgrep
commands instead.
.PP
The default signal for \fBskill\fP is TERM.  Use \fB\-l\fP or \fB\-L\fP to list
available signals.  Particularly useful signals include HUP, INT,
KILL, STOP, CONT, and 0.  Alternate signals may be specified in three
ways: \fB\-9\fP \fB\-SIGKILL\fP \fB\-KILL\fP.
.PP
The default priority for \fBsnice\fP is +4.  Priority numbers range from
+20 (slowest) to \-20 (fastest).  Negative priority numbers are
restricted to administrative users.
