It stops processes *dead* without giving them a chance to clean up. This is *in general* dangerous. It's a bit like lighting a fireplace with a flamethrower... yeah, it could work as a last resort, but SHOULD NOT be routine. Take a lesson from shutdown(8), which sends a 15 to processes, waits a bit, then sends a 2 to processes, then waits a bit, then FINALLY sends a 9 to anything that didn't shutdown nicely from the other two steps. (I may misremember the order here, but 9 isn't used until a third pass.) REMEMBER KIDS pass it on. Break the "kill -9" habit! -- Randal L.
