>Description:
	The man page states you should use kill -s <signal_name> <pid>, but it
	seems to me that it rather uses kill -<signal_name> <pid>. 
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	Try for example kill -s HUP 1
	
>Fix:
	Add the -s option or change all the references to the wrong syntax. There may be
	more than the kill- and init-manpages.
