At work we had to shut down a process that was stuck/hanging. I wanted to do a kill -9 while others argued that a hard stop is bad and a kill is better. I think otherwise, if the process is hanging then it is already corrupted and there is no real chance of it recovering itself or 'finishing' what it is doing. So, if you want a process to stop then use a kill -9 to make it stop with no chances of it not fully stopping. Am I right or wrong?
