>Description:

        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.

>How-To-Repeat:

        kill -s HUP ...

>Fix:

	Either implement the feature or remove the fantasy option
        from the man pages...

State-Changed-Why:  
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.

 You're using your shell's built in kill. . .
 
     # ps -ax | grep inetd
     194  ??  Is     0:00.05 inetd -wW
 
     # kill -s HUP 194
     s: Unkown signal; kill -l lists signals.
 
     # which kill
     kill: shell built-in command
 
     # /bin/kill -s HUP 194
