    @ewpratten yes. You can catch SIGTERM, but SIGKILL will terminate your process, doesn't matter if you decide to handle it or not.
    A different story is when a signal becomes a zombie, you can find information on that online

    Ahh... The fine, subtle art of signal handling...

    One of the many hidden rules is, to never make your program ignoring SIGTERM. If you catch it, use it to cleanly shut down your program.
