           16 .SH DESCRIPTION
           17 .I Kill
           18 prints commands that will cause all processes with 
           19 .I name
           20 and owned by the current user to be terminated.
           21 Each command is commented with an output line from
           22 .MR ps (1)
           23 describing the process that would be killed.
           24 Use the
           25 .B send
           26 command of
           27 .MR 9term (1) ,
           28 or pipe the output of
           29 .I kill
           30 into
           31 .MR rc (1)
           32 or
           33 .MR sh (1)
           34 to execute the commands.
           35 .PP
           36 .I Kill
           37 suggests sending a Unix
           38 .B TERM
           39 signal to the process; 
           40 sending a
           41 .B KILL
           42 signal is a surer, if heavy handed, kill,
           43 but is necessary if the offending process is
           44 ignoring signals.
           45 The
           46 .I slay
           47 command prints commands to do this.
           48 .PP
           49 .I Stop
           50 prints commands to pause execution of processes
           51 by sending them the
           52 .B STOP
           53 signal.
           54 .PP
           55 .I Start
           56 prints commands to restart stopped processes by sending them
           57 the
           58 .B CONT
           59 signal.
