What is the difference between

kill 1, SIGNAL

and 

kill 9, SIGNAL ?

By reading books and talking to people, I figured out
that kill 1 is the HUP (hang up signal) and kill 9 is
the  kill signal.  Don't they do the same thing (i.e.
terminate a program)?  I was told that kill 1 is a
"nicer" way to end a program than kill 9.
