Reliably kill test processes
It seems command -v also includes built-ins so checking for kill is useless because it finds the built-in and those machines or environments that have no /bin/kill fail at the check stage. Oh and then TCL exec doesn't spawn a shell. After reading way too many TCL websites, I believe this should fix the problem. TCL quoting is... different to say the least but it works reliably here. The script now even picked up a typo elsewhere which was nice. This change should stop the intermittent FTBFS bugs from the Debian pbuilders, I hope! You'd think kill $var wouldn't be this difficult.
