Synopsis: Killing original server daemon does not kill children State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: dgaudet State-Changed-When: Thu Mar 27 09:45:07 PST 1997 State-Changed-Why: When you kill -9 you do not give the server any opportunity to perform and cleanup. -9 is unmaskable. You just want to send a plain kill to the server and let it do its cleanup, which does include killing the children.
