Are you using a peculiar shell? Perhaps do `which kill` to help
determine whether it is a shell build-in version or a standalone
version. If it is built in, you will need to look up the kill syntax in
your shell's documentation.

One commonly-allowed syntax is `kill -STOP`, though I don't know why
`kill -s STOP` wouldn't be supported.
