What is the most appropriate purpose of 'kill' command in Linux ?
Answer: B
The kill command is used to Send a signal to a process.
Despite its name, kill sends any signal to a process: by default SIGTERM, asking it to terminate, but also SIGKILL, SIGSTOP, SIGCONT, SIGHUP and others, for example kill -HUP 1234 to make a daemon reload its configuration.
Terminating a process is only one common use, which is why 'Kill a running process' is less appropriate. Ending a login session or shutting the system down is done with other commands.
