I agree with Tom on yanking the plug while it's operating. Do you
know the difference between kill -9 and yanking the plug?

Nice try. I've demanded nothing, quit twisting my words to fit your

conclusive testing or call it something else. But I suspect that since
you don't know the difference between yanking the plug and kill -9 this
conversation is a waste of time.
