Synopsis: enhancement for kill(1) to search for a file ``/var/run/*pid'' State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: joerg State-Changed-When: Sat Dec 20 12:02:13 MET 1997 State-Changed-Why: The functionality to kill something by process name is already covered by killall(1). The functionality to signal some process by PID file seems useful, too, but IMHO should not be crunched into kill(1). A simple shell script would do way better here (what about `signal' for a name?).
