Argghhhh!!!!! Is it *really*, *really* necessary to use "kill -9" here?
This particular incantation is the spawn of satan, and should not be used without written authority (in triplicate) from the head of state and at least two senior religions leaders.
It looks like the kill -9 will only be used if the process can not be stopped using a kill -TERM by the STOPAGENT and STOPTRAPD functions.
This means that the Solaris V880 system is not able to kill the agent or trapd using kill -TERM.
BTW, the kill -9 is not new to eval_tools.sh. Only the MSYS checking is.
