I don't understand what you're trying to say. The reason that SIGKILL
cannot be ignored is that it means "Die! Die! Die! NOW!", and the reason
that SIGTERM can is that it means "shutdown, but do it cleanly". Ie, the
reasons and practical effects are exactly opposite of what you seem to
be saying: could you explain in more detail?
