from the manual page

          Kill prints commands that will cause all processes called
          name and owned by the current user to be terminated.  Use
          the send command of rio(1), or pipe the output of kill into
          rc(1) to execute the commands.

it's not the same as unix.

This worked very nicely and got dns running. However, how do
I kill it off? When I use "kill dns" I get,

	echo kill >/proc/105/note

Then when I check with "ps" ... it shows dns as still there.

Note: In the past, to kill a process or app running in the
window I simply "killed" the window with the mouse. I know this
is probably not the right way to do things but it seems
to have worked up to now. What is the right way to do it?
