1 KILL
 KILL is a program which will allow users to terminate  processes  that  are
 logged  in  with  the  same  username.  This is useful for aborting endless
 batch jobs or hung terminals.

      Syntax:  $ KILL pid

      Where "pid" is the 8 hexadecimal digit process  identification  number
 of  the  process  to  be  aborted.  This can be determined by using the DCL
 "SHOW USERS" or "SHOW SYSTEM" commands. (Leading zeros need not be entered) 

      The KILL program will determine if the user is authorized to abort the 
 process.  It will  then display  attributes  about the  process and request
 verification to continue.  Typing "Y" will terminate (or force) the process.
2 /FORCE
 Force an image exit of the process. This qualifier will terminate an  image
 of the process specified by the process  id  without actually  logging  the
 process off.  This forces interactive users back to the DCL prompt  ($) and
 will force a command procedure to the next step in the command stream.
2 /SILENT
 This  qualifier  inhibits  the broadcast  of a message to the terminal that
 is being KILLed. This qualifier has no effect on non-interactive processes.
 (BATCH, NETWORK or SUBPROCESS)

 Use of  this  qualifier will  also  suppress  the  printing of  the process
 attributes and bypasses the verification query.
2 Restrictions
      KILL can only abort process with the same UIC as the user issuing  the
      command.

      KILL will not allow class accounts to abort their processes.

      Processes cannot abort themselves with KILL
