What's wrong with shutting down agent with "kill -9"? What does it

I ask because currently my agent (a master agent, not a subagent) can
only
be shut down by "kill -9". It is launched with "-f -L -M -D" as a
thread on
RH by a main program which will then connect to the data source to
get data.
I'd like to know the impact of using "kill -9" and the correct way of
terminating an agent.
Use plain "kill" (=="kill -TERM") instead. Any well-behaved application
should be given the chance to properly shutdown itself. A net-snmp based
agent in particular will write the persistent config on shutdown which
it cannot do if terminated the hard way (SIGKILL).
