kill [-pgroup] [signal] idlist

Send a signal to each process in the list idlist, if permitted. Parameter signal, if present, is the signal number or symbolic name of the signal. The default is 15 (SIGTERM).

If -pgroup is specified, the numbers in idlist are taken as process group IDs and the signal is sent to all of the processes in that process group. A process group ID of 0 specifies the current process group. This command is not supported under Windows.
