Decode Flags for Kill Command I saw this Command on a Book for Linux shell Scripting $ kill -HUP 1234 >killout.txt 2>killerr.txt I know what the command does, but i am not able to understand the flags **-HUP**

Under Linux try `man 7 signal`.

`kill -HUP 1234` means "send the SIGHUP signal (1) to process 1234", so it's equivalent to `kill -1 1234`. The default signal that is sent by kill is SIGTERM (15), so `kill 1234` is equivalent to `kill -TERM 1234` or `kill -15 1234`.
