I believe you can send a termination signal rather than a kill signal. I
don't know what the `kill` command sends by default (too lazy to read the
man page), but I think if you do `kill -TERM <pid>` the process should
terminate, after doing whatever cleanup it needs- assuming it recognizes
the TERM signal.
