I imagine the 'killproc' is similar to 'killall' or some generic "kill
this process though I don't know it's PID" type of utility.

The && is script-speak for "and if successful..."  Thus, each line
is only executed if the previous one succeeded (zero exit code).
If there's a failure at any point, that's where the || comes in ("but
if unsuccessful...").

I don't have much to realistically contribute, but I thought I'd offer
that up for those that wanted to understand what was going on.
