In Unix and Unix-like operating systems, kill is a command used to send simple messages to processes running on the system. By default, the message sent is the "termination" signal, which requests that the process exit. But kill is something of a misnomer; the signal sent may have nothing to do with process killing. The kill command is a wrapper around the kill() system call, which sends signals to processes or process groups on the system, referenced by their numeric process IDs (PIDs) or process group IDs (PGIDs). kill is always provided as a standalone utility, but most shells have built-in kill commands that may slightly differ from it.
