That was printed by the shell who was the actual parent of the process.

I recommend not using SIGKILL, it's very crude and impolite. You should really be sending a SIGINT, SIGTERM or SIGQUIT which tells the process to clean up nicely. If a process has opened resources that are not automatically cleared up then SIGKILL will leave those resources hanging around.

You should read more about IPC (interprocess communications ) in Unix basic system.

This is a good book about IPC.
