Don, it appears that etcher.io now redirects to https://www.balena.io/etcher/
Randall, you're right. I did skip that nuance. Generally, I try kill with no option, since the default is SIGTERM (-15). Only then, do I move to the -9. However, like I said, I always prefer app/vendor provided scripts if available.
