Assuming you're using the Linux kernel signal numbers, you should be able to get 
a process ID (say, 4729) and use this:

kill -2 4729

instead of the fancier 'kill' command I suggested. Also, try this in another 
session:

kill -14 4729

which sends the ALRM signal instead of the INT signal. Either way, see what 'tr' 
says.
