kill: add '--' option to separate options from arguments
Using a negative pid to send TERM to a process group results in an obscure error: $ ./busybox kill -12345 kill: bad signal name '12345' This is intended. Manpage says: ARGUMENTS pid Each pid can be one of four things: ... -n where n is larger than 1. All processes in process group n are signaled. When an argument of the form '-n' is given, and it is meant to denote a process group, either a signal must be specified first, or the argument must be preceded by a '--' option, otherwise it will be taken as the signal to send. However, we did not support "--". Add this capability to BusyBox. function old new delta kill_main 993 999 +6 Signed-off-by: Ron Yorston <rmy@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com>
