What is the hierarchy among the kill options?
Authored by: hamarkus on Dec 22, '03 06:08:16PM

Am I right that the kill command escalates in the following order:

15 / TERM
1 / HUP
2 / INT
3 / QUIT
6 / ABRT
9 / KILL

But to what corresponds a simple kill command without any options?

read the man page:

-signal_name
A symbolic signal name specifying the signal to be sent instead
of the default TERM.

Thanks, I had looked at man page, but obviously not carefully enough.
