Best Answer

The 'kill' command sends a signal to a given process. By default without any options it will send the TERM (terminate) signal. Other options may include the KILL signal which forcbly terminates a process without waiting. As far as USR1 and USR2 signals it depends on the kind of application that is in said process.
