or what about '\kill'? On our Unix (tm) machines running BSD 4.3
(Vax 11/780 with dualed cpu's), as well as on our Sequent Balance
21000 running Dynix (tm) 2.1 (I think we haven't updated to 3.0 yet)
I think that this is a standard on all BSD derivative so that
some "Bimby" can't prevent themselves from logging out.
