I guess I found the issue. When '-kill' is issued if Marss is not in
simulation mode it will no kill the whole process. The fix is to kill the
process when we saw '-kill' signal in 'plt_machine_configure'.

Please can you answer the following two questions so I can clearly set the
scenario as you mentioned and fix this issue in master branch.

1. When you give '-stop' does it switch to emulation mode and keep running
or it stops the emulation also?
2. When '-kill' is given is it running in emulation mode or simulation?

Thanks,
Avadh
