[net.unix-wizards] kill should ignore TERMINATE signal?

naftoli@aecom.UUCP (05/25/84)

If you do a 'kill 0' to kill all non shell processes, is it possible
for the kill to kill itself before killing everything else?  If so,
shouldn't kill ignore TERMINATE to facilitate this useful feature?

Why shouldn't it kill itself? It doesn't look for your processes and kill
them individually, the system call does that itself.
Read the manual! (kill(2))
