Question:

(a) Extend the code in Figure 14.5, 14.6, or 14.7 to try to kill processes more gently. You’ll want to read the man page for the standard kill command. Use a TERM signal first. If that doesn’t work, ask the user if you should resort to KILL.

(b) Extend your solution to part (a) so that the script accepts an optional argument specifying the signal to be used. Alternatives to TERM and KILL include HUP, INT, QUIT, and ABRT.
