Well, when you turn off your computer, do you shut it down or hit the switch? 
"kill -9" is like using the "Frankenstein switch" instead of a shutdown.

DBs should survive the death of connection, sessions, even on application level 
should have timeouts and clean-up procedures, so the system SHOULD SURVIVE shot 
in the head. The same can be said for pulling the plug on your computer instead 
of a clean shutdown - it should survive. And it will, for a number of times. 
Until one day,....

Nixie.
