      Currently, Proc.kill only uses SIGTERM - which in some cases isn't enough.

      Either, it should SIGTERM, wait a while, see if the process is still running - and then use SIGKILL, or it should just expose a secondary "really_kill" API that plugin writers can use if they need it.

          I wrote a script that you can execute periodically from cron to clean up processes orphaned by Jenkins.
