Kill command will kill the proecess without specifying the
force whereas when we need to apply the force or priority
to kill any process we use kill -9.

Answer / ravi k srivastava
Kill allows the child processes to be killed before parent
process is killed.
Kill -9 forcefully kills the process without giving time to
child processes to be killed. In IPC architecture, its not
good idea to kill forcefully using "-9" option.
