David,

That'd make sense.  I'm still leaning towards procps.  The only
reason I've gotten into this discussion is that I've had kill seem
to be a bit random in it's success.  However, I suspect it is due
to bash's built-in and the individual program being killed.

Maybe I should alias kill=/bin/kill and do more testing.

Would there be any objections to generating a KILL make
procps an optional provider of KILL?

Thanks.
