Actually, the KILL signal, by definition, can't be caught by the target
process.
The the target process should catch the appropriate signal that is sent to
the process initially, but I don't know which signal that is (probably is
TERM). As well, if the process doesn't quit in a reasonableĀ amount of
time, I believe the shutdown process then sends it a KILL signal, which
should terminate it.
For more info:
man kill
