Message-ID: I am somewhat embarrassed to admit that this just occurred to me. Is the reason that SIGKILL has the numeric value 9 because cats are reported to have nine lives? Clearly the connection between 'cat' and 'kill -9' would make for a irreverent but harmless inside joke if so.... - Dan C. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
