The kill command without any signal asks kindly the mapguide server to
terminate (the default signal is TERM).
Thus it is not "killing" it, but rather stopping it and may fail if
the process does not stop itself (and Mapguide server in my experience
sometimes fail to stop and you have indeed to properly "kill" it).

To forcefully kill immediately a process the syntax is "kill -9"
(signal KILL. It is not recommended since you may incur in data loss
or dbxml corruption).
