Hi list,

how do you get SIGSTOP to work -- it tells me it is an
"Unknown signal"  -- but lists it among the accepted signals??

nh% ps -ef | grep yes
robd     30053  1377  8 14:07 pts/1    00:00:13 yes
robd     30101  1356  0 14:10 pts/0    00:00:00 grep yes
nh% kill -s STOP 30053
s: Unknown signal; kill -l lists signals.
nh% kill -l
