In my shell script, I tried to trap CTRL-C and &quot;kill -9&quot; as follow:<br />
_abort()<br />
{<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;kill ${PID}<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;echo &quot;kill &quot;&nbsp;${PID}<br />
}<br />
<br />
trap _abort 2 15<br />
<br />
However, it seems that when the user press CTRL-C, it got trap and the kill message is being printed. <br />
<br />
However, when the user press &quot;kill -9 Pid&quot;, the kill message is not being printed.<br />
<br />
Is there anywhere to trap a kill -9 signal???<br />

trap CTRL-C and kill -9
