Is there a better way that kill -15?

If I don't want to run the web client to qbittorrent-nox, what is the correct way to terminate qbittorrent-nox? Is kill -15, or kill -9, OK?

-9 is never ok.  ***
Just use "kill" or "killall". They both use SIGTERM.


*** -9 is SIGKILL so the program won't be able to clean up.

Thanks, SIGTERM it is.
