Don't use "kill -9" !    Use "kill -TERM" instead.

kill -9 is a mechanism of last resport, and should *NOT* be used
as a matter of course.
   Any lazy administrator who habitually forces programs to quit
abnormally deserves everything they get!

(I'm a little more worried about Ctrl+C - that ought to shut down
cleanly, and hence save the password change)
