About the name

The name kill-0 comes from the UNIX command kill -0, which, sends a signal named (surprise!) zero to a process, whose ID is specified on the command line. The command does nothing in and of itself, but, if the specified process is running, the kill command will return 0, if the process is not running, kill returns a non-zero value. Hence kill -0 gives us a sort of ping for processes running on a UNIX host.
