Because SIGKILL can't be trapped and even not do any special action like SIGILL (core), disappeared process == killed. But it is not so for other (trapped or special action) signals. Disappears should not be silently ignored as SIGKILL due to special action missing, warning is enough in that case. -- http://ache.pp.ru/
