You should also try and avoid using kill -9 unless it is a last resort as this signal doesn't allow the process any opportunity to cleanup/save open files/flush buffers and the like.

Best practice is to use kill -15 which is basically a "request" for the process to close. If the process doesn't respond to this "request" in a timely manor then you can assume it is "stuck" and use kill -9.
