State Changed From-To: open->closed Pilot error. You are using the builtin kill in csh. From kill(1): Some shells may provide a builtin kill command which is similar or iden- tical to this utility. Consult the builtin(1) manual page. Calling kill as /bin/kill from a csh shell/script will let you use -s.

The exports(5) and kill(1) manual pages say that one can use the '-s' option to send named signals to a process, as: kill -s HUP `cat /var/run/mountd.pid` The kill command, however, does not accept this option: s: Unknown signal; kill -l lists signals. Fix: Either implement the feature or remove the fantasy option from the man pages... How-To-Repeat: kill -s HUP ...
