Here's what strace shows during a master off operation;

kill(27239, SIG_0)                      = 0
kill(27239, SIGTERM)                    = 0

This isn't the whole trace just the lines relating to 'kill()'

I believe SIG_0 means stop processing signals (cant find doc on that
one), then the SIGTERM (15)

Subject: RE: [U2] [UV] MASTER OFF <port>


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.
