Jason Schoon writes: Here is a patch for kill that I posted long ago, but forgot about until today. This allows kill to specify a negative process/group (such as -1). The shell already had this fix applied by Vodz some time ago.
This commit was genuinely broken at the time (not related to our build system): scripts/config/mkconfigs.c (2005-08-01 - 2006-10-05 arasi) uretilen bbconfigopts.h icine .config satirlarini kacissiz, ham newline'larla gömüyordu - gecerli C degildi, busybox'un kendi bb_mkdep araci bile parse edemiyordu (7d219aab7 ile duzeltildi, mkconfigs shell scripte cevrildi)
