No no no. Don't use kill -9.<br>
<br>
It doesn't give the process a chance to cleanly:<br>
<br>
1) release IPC resources (shared memory, semaphores, message queues)<br>
<br>
2) clean up temp files<br>
<br>
3) inform its children that it is going away<br>
<br>
4) reset its terminal characteristics<br>
<br>
and so on and so on and so on.<br>
<br>
Generally, send 15 (SIGTERM), and wait a second or two, and if that<br>
doesn't work, send 2 (SIGINT), and if that doesn't work, send 1<br>
(SIGHUP). If that doesn't, REMOVE THE BINARY because the program is<br>
badly behaved!<br>

Don't use kill -9. Don't bring out the combine harvester just to tidy<br>
up the flower pot.<br>
