I bet the correct answer is hidden in the name 'kill' command. It's gotta be KILL(9), right? Why else would they call it that?

Oh, I see. I guess the name of the command can be a bit misleading sometimes.

Actually, the default signal sent by the kill command is TERM(15), not KILL(9).

I think you're right, it does make sense that the kill command would send a KILL(9) signal.

TERM(15) makes sense, it's a polite way to ask a process to terminate. Though KILL(9) is the real deal if you want to be ruthless.

Yeah, but sometimes you just need to use KILL(9) to get the job done.

TERM(15) is like a gentle reminder to stop.

QUIT(3)? That sounds more like a command to end a shell session, not kill a process. Hmm, need to think this through.

Oh, I was sure it was HUP(1). Guess I need to review my Linux command references.

I always get confused between HUP(1) and TERM(15) signals. It's good to review them every now and then.

The kill command sends TERM(15) by default? I thought it was KILL(9)!
