Stopping flocksnippet: Killed (core dumped) on doing kill -9

Hi,
I am getting the following output of running a command on linux :

[robinsu@olympus101 ~]$ sudo service snippet stop

Stopping flocksnippet: Killed (core dumped)

                                                           [FAILED]

Open in new window

Although my application does stop but i want to understand why this [FAILED] is coming. Is this something to be handled ?

Here is my init script used to stop and start the application:

#!/bin/bash
# chkconfig: 3 99 99
# description: code snippet app
# processname: snippet

prog="flocksnippet"
user="flocksnippet"
snippet="/opt/flock-snippets"

. /etc/init.d/functions
lockfile=/var/lock/subsys/$prog

start() {
    PATH="$PATH:/bin"
    FLOCK_APPS_CONFIG=$(cat /etc/env)
    exec="/usr/java/default/bin/java -DFLOCK_APPS_CONFIG=${FLOCK_APPS_CONFIG} -jar snippet.jar"
    cd $snippet
    daemon --user=$user $exec &
    retval=$?
    echo
    [ $retval -eq 0 ] && touch $lockfile
    return $retval
}

stop() {
    PATH="$PATH:/bin"
    echo -n $"Stopping $prog: "
    exec="pgrep -u flocksnippet | xargs kill -9"
    daemon --user=$user $exec
    retval=$?
    echo
    [ $retval -eq 0 ] && rm -f $lockfile
    return $retval
}

restart()
{
    stop
    start
}

case "$1" in
    start)
        $1
        ;;
    stop)
        $1
        ;;
    restart)
        $1
        ;;
    *)
       exit 2
esac
exit $?

I created the init script...
The daemon function which i am using is inside /etc/init.d/functions
There are no other process for the user flocksnippet.
My initscript is only createing process for this particular user

functions file you can look at :
http://bash.cyberciti.biz/guide//etc/init.d/functions
Its same as i have on my linux machine

I can remove the -9 .. But since still this error happens i guess there must be something wrong with the way i am killing using daemon
