kill
----

Kills the job associated with the node.
If a family or suite is selected, will kill hierarchically.
Kill uses the ECF_KILL_CMD variable. After variable substitution it is invoked as a command.
The command should be written in such a way that the output is written to %ECF_JOB%.kill
as this allow the --file command to report the output: .e.e.
 /home/ma/emos/bin/ecfkill %USER% %HOST% %ECF_RID% %ECF_JOB% > %ECF_JOB%.kill 2>&1::
Usage::
   --kill=/s1/f1/t1 /s1/f2/t2 # kill the jobs for tasks t1 and t2
   --file=/s1/f1/t1 kill      # write to standard out the '.kill' file for task /s1/f1/t1

The client considers, for both user and child commands, the following environment variables:

  ECF_HOST <string> [mandatory*]
    The main server hostname; default value is 'localhost'
  ECF_PORT <int> [mandatory*]
    The main server port; default value is '3141'
  ECF_SSL <any> [optional*]
    Enable secure communication between client and server.
  ECF_HOSTFILE <string> [optional]
    File that lists alternate hosts to try, if connection to main host fails
  ECF_HOSTFILE_POLICY <string> [optional]
    The policy ('task' or 'all') to define which commands consider using alternate hosts.

The options marked with (*) must be specified in order for the client to communicate
with the server, either by setting the environment variables or by specifying the
command line options.
