Good post! Do not run kill -9, but rather use just plain kill, or kill -15 if that doesn't work.
Kill and kill -15 end a process somewhat gracefully, so that the os is at least notified that the process is killed. -9 just causes it to vanish with no notice. It's akin to just hitting the power button, on a process level, without doing any sort of shutdown routine.
Also, ag (Silversurfer) is my team's grep replacement, give it a look.
