The main reason I'm aware of for avoiding "kill -9" unless
absolutely nescessary is it doesn't let a process release kernel
resources like shared memory segments... Whether nsd actually
uses any kernel resources that aren't garbage collected at
process completion is another question though...
Another way to pause nsd startup to work around Hossein's
problem is to stick an "after 5000" in the site configuration .tcl file
to pause nsd for 5 seconds while starting (hopefully long
enough for any lingering connections to dissapear)... Deciding if
this is any less ugly than "kill -9"-ing nsd is I suppose a matter of
taste...
