I am trying to kill a batch file using "kill -f -9 <PID>" where PID is
located by doing "ps -W", I get the following error:
bash: kill: bad signal spec 'f'

According to the User Guide one should use "-f" with the kill option to
indicate a window program (eg. DOS batch file)

Environment:

-Bash version 2.05a.0
-W2K with Service Pak 2


Can some one help me please!!

Thanks,
