A true false test? In Unix most answers are "it depends".

The documentation on this starts with Version 6 of AT&T Unix and
gets slowly changed. Those doc date to the early 1970s.

I suggest reading a book on the design of Unix. As above - "it
depends" on whether you can kill something or not.

Ah another "that depends"
...
I suggest a bit of reading and 'true/false' statements regarding
Unix >almost< all fit the 'that depends' category?
