Never never never use kill -9 on a process, unless that process has resisted prior attempts to die via kill 1, 2, and 15.
Is that general advice for all processes, or is it only for programs that you don't know, that haven't failed to die properly earlier, etc? I.e. if I have a program whose processes consistently fail to die properly, should I still kill it with 1, 2, and 15 before 9? /J
