"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,....
