Try with SIGTERM:
Code:

(kill sends SIGTERM -15- by default)

pvm_kill

KILL(3PVM)							  PVM Version 3.4							KILL(3PVM)

NAME

       pvm_kill - Terminates a specified PVM process.

SYNOPSIS

       C    int info = pvm_kill( int tid )

       Fortran	 call pvmfkill( tid, info )

PARAMETERS

       tid     Integer task identifier of the PVM process to be killed (not yourself).

       info    Integer status code returned by the routine.  Values less than zero indicate an error.

DESCRIPTION

       The routine pvm_kill sends a terminate (SIGTERM) signal to the PVM process identified by tid.  In the case of multiprocessors the terminate
       signal is replaced with a host dependent method for killing a process.  If pvm_kill is successful, info will be 0.  If  some  error  occurs
       then info will be < 0.

       pvm_kill  is not designed to kill the calling process.  To kill yourself in C call pvm_exit() followed by exit().  To kill yourself in For-
       tran call pvmfexit followed by stop.

EXAMPLES

       C:
	    info = pvm_kill( tid );

       Fortran:
	    CALL PVMFKILL( TID, INFO )

ERRORS

       These error conditions can be returned by pvm_kill

       PvmBadParam
	      giving an invalid tid value.

       PvmSysErr
	      pvmd not responding.

SEE ALSO

       pvm_exit(3PVM), pvm_halt(3PVM)
