lower case kill restricts the list to processes of the invoking user

initial cap Kill doesn't do that.

for lower case kill, you can @{rfork n; echo -n none >/tmp/none && bind /tmp/none /dev/user && kill tftpd}

you wouldn't normally of course but aspects of that command might be instructive

Thanks, Skip.
I thought that ought to work, however 'kill tftpd' doesn't give any
output. (I can kill other processes)
I think maybe I have misunderstood the host owner part. If I do a
plain install (of 9front, actually) from the CD and log in as glenda,
am I not the host owner?
Thanks,
Pete
