Yep. Didn't you know that you can use symbolic signal names to kill? Just as SIGKILL as defined as 9, you can use kill -KILL. You can use -INT, -HUP, -TERM or anything that you'd like. Far easier than having to remember or look up all signal numbers as you need them.

bpark,
by last 2 tokens are you talking about the last two tokens in the /etc/fstab file?
if yes then the second last field determines whether a dump of the filesystem is required or not and the last field determines the order in which fsck is run on the machine.

dump meaning a backup of the filesystem to the given disk or any other storage medium...the fifth field in the fstab file is read by this command and appropriate action is taken...
man dump for more details...
