The aaaakkkkiiiillllllll command sends a signal to the processes in the array session
specified by the array session handle _A_S_H, or to the single process
specified by process ID _P_I_D. The value of _s_i_g_n_a_l may be numeric or
symbolic (see _s_i_g_n_a_l(5)). The symbolic name is the name as is appears in
////uuuussssrrrr////iiiinnnncccclllluuuuddddeeee////ssssyyyyssss////ssssiiiiggggnnnnaaaallll....hhhh, with the SSSSIIIIGGGG prefix stripped off. Signal 15
(SSSSIIIIGGGGTTTTEEEERRRRMMMM) is sent by default; this will normally kill processes that do
not catch or ignore the signal.
The processes that are to be signalled by _a_k_i_l_l do not necessarily have
to reside on the same system as the one from which the _a_k_i_l_l command is
issued. If _a_r_r_a_y _s_e_r_v_i_c_e_s is installed then a request to kill an array
session will be forwarded to all of the machines in the array specified
by the ----aaaa option (or the default array is ----aaaa was not specified).
Similarly, a signal can be sent to an individual process on another
machine that is running array services by using the ----mmmm and ----ppppiiiidddd options.
_a_k_i_l_l takes several options:
_----_aaaa _a_r_r_a_y_n_a_m_e or _----_aaaa_rrrr_rrrr_aaaa_yyyy _a_r_r_a_y_n_a_m_e
Specifies the name of the array to which the command should be
directed. If not specified, the array services daemon's default
destination will be used. This option is ignored if the ----ppppiiiidddd option
is specified.
_----_aaaa_ssss_hhhh _A_S_H or _----_hhhh _A_S_H
Specifies the array session handle of the array session whose
processes are to receive the signal. The string "----aaaasssshhhh" itself is
optional. The ----aaaasssshhhh and ----ppppiiiidddd options are mutually exclusive.
_----_DDDD or _----_dddd_iiii_rrrr_eeee_cccc_tttt
When used with _----_ssss, indicates that the request should be sent
directly to the specified server, rather than forwarded to that
server by the local array services daemon. This will fail on
systems that use array services authentication unless the ----KKKKllll and
----KKKKrrrr options are also specified. _----_DDDD is the default behavior under
normal circumstances (but see the description of the _AAAA_RRRR_RRRR_AAAA_YYYY_DDDD______FFFF_OOOO_RRRR_WWWW_AAAA_RRRR_DDDD
variable, below).
_----_FFFF or _----_ffff_oooo_rrrr_wwww_aaaa_rrrr_dddd
When used with _----_ssss, indicates that the request should be forwarded to
the specified server via the local array services daemon, rather
than sent directly to it. _----_FFFF will become the default behavior if
the value of the _AAAA_RRRR_RRRR_AAAA_YYYY_DDDD______FFFF_OOOO_RRRR_WWWW_AAAA_RRRR_DDDD environment variable begins with the
letter "Y" (as in "yes"; it may be in either upper or lower case).
