>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...
