    What's wrong with shutting down agent with "kill -9"? What does it
    indicate?
    I ask because currently my agent (a master agent, not a subagent) 
can only
    be shut down by "kill -9". It is launched with "-f -L -M -D" as a 
thread on
    RH by a main program which will then connect to the data source to 
get data.
    I'd like to know the impact of using "kill -9" and the correct way 
of terminating
    an agent.
    Thanks.
