Re: removal of kill?

[Leslie S Satenstein]

man kill shows -l as providing signal names and -L as providing both names and numbers either as privileged or regular user (0, or 1000).

I  kill -L output returns as expected results if it is root or sudo user.  Otherwise it returns

bash: kill: L: invalid signal specification

Two more patches related to this attached.

kill: add undocumented -L for compatibility
tests: add tests for the kill command
