Terminating a Thread from another Thread - current_act() missing?

Someone asked:

Timothy wisely councilled:

	Of course, if someone does have a valid reason for
killing a thread, something like this is all you need:

#import <mach/mach.h>
#import <mach/kern_return.h>

// In the created thread:
thread_t  machThread = mach_thread_self();

...
// In the murdering thread:
thread_terminate(machThread);


	thread_suspend() and thread_resume() have also been very
useful to me.
