what is the default signal kill in unix?

Answer Posted / 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)
