Guillaume,

It looks like an oversight. When I rewrote Net::SSH the last time, I  
must have forgotten to port the constants over, too. At any rate,  
they are simple enough. Just pass a string naming the signal you want  
to send, chosen from this list:

    ABRT
    ALRM
    FPE
    HUP
    ILL
    INT
    KILL
    PIPE
    QUIT
    SEGV
    TERM
    USR1
    USR2

Sorry about that,

Jamis
