>Description:
The exports(5) and kill(1) manual pages say that one can
use the '-s' option to send named signals to a process, as:
kill -s HUP `cat /var/run/mountd.pid`
The kill command, however, does not accept this option:
s: Unknown signal; kill -l lists signals.
>How-To-Repeat:
kill -s HUP ...
>Fix:
Either implement the feature or remove the fantasy option
from the man pages...
