SIGKILL turns out to be '9'. I'm assuming that it is still SIGKILL if you do a simple kill. I'll find out this evening when I test it on my servers.
Found this in the signal module: ---------------------------------------------- NSIG = 64 SIGABRT = 6 SIGALRM = 14 SIGBUS = 7 SIGCHLD = 17 SIGCLD = 17 SIGCONT = 18 SIGFPE = 8 SIGHUP = 1 SIGILL = 4 SIGINT = 2 SIGIO = 29 SIGIOT = 6 SIGKILL = 9 SIGPIPE = 13 SIGPOLL = 29 SIGPROF = 27 SIGPWR = 30 SIGQUIT = 3 SIGSEGV = 11 SIGSTOP = 19 SIGSYS = 31 SIGTERM = 15 SIGTRAP = 5 SIGTSTP = 20 SIGTTIN = 21 SIGTTOU = 22 SIGURG = 23 SIGUSR1 = 10 SIGUSR2 = 12 SIGVTALRM = 26 SIGWINCH = 28 SIGXCPU = 24 SIGXFSZ = 25 SIG_DFL = 0 SIG_IGN = 1
