Description of problem: This syntax does not work: $ kill -s0 24681 bash: kill: s0: invalid signal specification But this one does: $ kill -s 0 24681 According to: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap12.html "Notwithstanding the preceding requirements on conforming applications, a conforming implementation shall permit an application to specify options and option-arguments as a single argument or as separate arguments whether or not a <space> is shown on the synopsis line, except in those cases (marked with the XSI portability warning) where an option-argument is optional and no separation can be used." Something for upstream, I guess. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): util-linux-2.13-0.52.el5_4.1 util-linux-ng-2.16.2-9.fc12.i686
(In reply to comment #0) > This syntax does not work: > > $ kill -s0 24681 > bash: kill: s0: invalid signal specification Yes, you're right. > Something for upstream, I guess. Definitely yes, I'll reassign this bug to Fedora. I think it's not serious enough to be fixed in RHEL5. Thanks.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle. Changing version to '14'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
