The command +syntax is poorly defined. Consider using the killall, pkill, +and pgrep commands instead. + The default signal for skill is TERM. Use -l or -L to list available signals. Particularly useful signals include HUP, INT, KILL, STOP, CONT, and 0. Alternate signals may be specified in three ways: -9 -SIGKILL -KILL.
