jkill - send signal to a job


SYNOPSIS

       jkill [ -signal ] jid ...
       jkill -l


DESCRIPTION

       jkill  sends  the  specified  signal to the processes con­
       tained in the job(s) identified by the jid(s).  If no sig­
       nal  is specified, the TERM signal is sent.  The TERM sig­
       nal will kill processes which do not  catch  this  signal.
       For  other  processes, if may be necessary to use the KILL
       (9) signal, since this signal cannot be caught.
