This is a nicely-written primer for using kill and a list of common signals. Below is a list of a few common signals, the numeric value of that signal, the action that is associated with it and how to send that signal to a process.

Geek post!  🙂 There are a few utilities that I use that are not well known, but I find critical. One of the ones that I use most is Synergy.
