Synopsis: /bin/kill has bad error checking for command line parameters State-Changed-From-To: open->analyzed State-Changed-By: rwatson State-Changed-When: Fri Jan 25 17:24:00 UTC 2008 State-Changed-Why: If we want to make a change along these lines, we should change from warnx() to errx(EX_USAGE, ...) rather than changing the loop logic. Does the csh/tcsh kill validate all arguments before starting the killing (so to speak), or does it abort when it hits the first bad one (as this patch suggests)? http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=40282help
