Why do you kill it if it isn't running?

Code:

if [ -n "$check_stat" ]
then
   echo "SSHD is running"
   echo "Killing $check_stat"
   kill -9 $check_stat
else
   echo "SSHD isn't running"
fi

This script is meant for an application, I'm only using SSHD as an example but you brought up a good point. I'll switch the sshd to ftpd and go from there.
