The kill -4 might also need to be done three or four times before that mechanism kicks in.

Kill -4 generates an illegal instruction trap and core dump.  I have always
heard that kill -1 (hangup) is the "nicest" way to kill an errant process,
and kill -9 (kill) is the last resort.

I've found emperically kill -4 [pid]
*seems* to nicely kill uv pocesses, but I'm not sure why.
Sometimes I have to repeat the command several times before success.
I kinda assumed MASTER OFF must do a kill -4, but have nothing to back that
up, just that UV processes seem to disappear nicely, including locks.


'man kill' doesn't even tell me what '4' is.  I knew once, but forgot.

fwiw,

. . . I was always led to believe that MASTER OFF is a cleaner way to drop
Universe sessions rather than killing the sessions at unix level.
