[Solved]No kill binary but I can still kill processes?

Hello!

I just migrated my laptop to EXT4 with the 2009.02-beta4 ISO (beta I know). Now everything seems to work fine except for when I power off my laptop, stopping the network spews out this error: "/etc/rc.d/network: line 62: /bin/kill: No such file or directory [DONE]".

I checked /bin/ and sure enough there was no kill there so I ran 'which kill' and it came out empty as well. The only place I could find my kill was at /usr/lib/klibc/bin/kill which seems a bit odd, at least to me. Now it still shuts down and all and I _can_ kill processes with the kill command but I'm curious why this happened. I can't find anything about this 'bug' (if it even is one) on the bugtracker so, anyone know what's up with this?

For me (zsh) kill is a shell built in.  /bin/kill is provided by procps.

Ah, alright so I guess bash offers this feature as well then. Installing procps did the trick, thanks.
