groff 1.23.0 added .MR to its -man macro package. The NEWS file states
that the inclusion of the macro "was prompted by its introduction to
Plan 9 from User Space's troff in August 2020." From d32deab it seems
that the name for Plan 9 from User Space's implementation was suggested
by groff maintainer G. Brandon Robinson.
Not sure if the intention was to make these definitions compatible, but
it would be nice if they were.
Currently, Plan 9 from User Space's .MR expects its second argument to
be parenthesized. groff's .MR does not. This results in extra
parentheses appearing in manual references when viewing Plan 9 from User
Space's manual pages on a system using groff.

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I Kill
|
|
prints commands that will cause all processes with
|
|
.I name
|
|
and owned by the current user to be terminated.
|
|
Each command is commented with an output line from
|
|
.MR ps 1
|
|
describing the process that would be killed.
|
|
Use the
|
|
.B send
|
|
command of
|
|
.MR 9term 1 ,
|
|
or pipe the output of
|
|
.I kill
|
|
into
|
|
.MR rc 1
|
|
or
|
|
.MR sh 1
|
|
to execute the commands.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Kill
|
|
suggests sending a Unix
|
|
.B TERM
|
|
signal to the process;
|
|
sending a
|
|
.B KILL
|
|
signal is a surer, if heavy handed, kill,
|
|
but is necessary if the offending process is
|
|
ignoring signals.
|
|
The
|
|
.I slay
|
|
command prints commands to do this.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Stop
|
|

|
|
by sending them the
|
|
.B STOP
|
|
signal.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Start
|
|
prints commands to restart stopped processes by sending them
|
|
the
|
|
.B CONT
|
|
signal.
