Jordon. i understand u wnat me to read the docs which i did  over and
over again before posting the question. i am still not getting the
answer to my prob. as per the ruby docs. << The first parameter is a
signal name (a string such as ``SIGALRM'', ``SIGUSR1'', and so on) or
a signal number. The characters ``SIG'' may be omitted from the signal
name>>
so what am i missing. appreciate help here.
