Answer / saket kale
kill is a command used to send a signal to a process which
we want to terminate.The message sent is the termination
signal, which requests that the process exit.
The default signal sent is SIGTERM.

Answer / robin bhan
kill is an internal command used in UNIX . If a command takes more time to get executed than expected, then the user can terminate that program by giving the PID(process id) of that program.
ex. $ sort count.txt ( 'enter')
669 (PID of program sort count.txt returned by kernel)
$
in order to kill or terminate this program command is given as
$ kill 669 ('enter')
$
(above dollar prompt indicates program is terminated)
