As a result I now use kill -HUP instead of kill -1. Too easy to typo the former. On a related note, I had a friend running Caldera Linux who's system started doing weird things. We discovered that for some reason the system was running without init (or any process 1). Don't ask me how, or why or tell me it's not possible. It even ended up that way after a reboot. What was weird is that you could log into the system in some ways but not others - the console worked, and I believe FTP didn't. Not sure beyond that. He re-installed and it fixed it. - Forrest W.
