Can I suggest that this is a very bad idea?
There's a reason -9 is not the default: it's because -15 (TERM, the default)
can be caught, which lets the target process do necessary cleanup (if any),
such as removing temp files, removing .pid files etc etc.

-9 is meant as a _last_ resort, after the process has proven intransigent.
You _never_ use it as the _first_ attempt to shut something down. It's
on par with pulling the power cord from your PC every night instead of
doing a clean shutdown.

Wouldn't it be great if the insurance company would fix your bike to the tune
of $3300, then have an adjuster escort you and supervise while you inflict
$3300 worth of non-insurable damage to his truck?
