Not unless you tell it to.

See 'mibII/setSerialNo.,c' for an example of how to do this.

Then you deserve all you get!!

You should *NEVER* use  kill -9    except as a last resort.
It is *NOT* the correct way to shut down a service.

Always give a problem the chance to tidy up, save any persistent data,
and shut down cleanly.   Kill -9 means "shut down *now*, and don't
worry about leaving things in a sensible state"

It is for use in emergencies only.  Not every day.
