% BIND10_SEND_SIGKILL sending SIGKILL to %1 (PID %2)
The boss module is sending a SIGKILL signal to the given process.
+% BIND10_SEND_SIGNAL_FAIL sending %1 to %2 (PID %3) failed: %4
+The boss module sent a single (either SIGTERM or SIGKILL) to a process,
+but it failed due to some system level error. There are two major cases:
+the target process has already terminated but the boss module had sent
+the signal before it noticed the termination. In this case an error
+message should indicate something like "no such process". This can be
+safely ignored. The other case is that the boss module doesn't have
+the privilege to send a signal to the process. It can typically
+happen when the boss module started as a privileged process, spawned a
+subprocess, and then dropped the privilege. It includes the case for
+the socket creator when the boss process runs with the -u command line
+option. In this case, the boss module simply gives up to terminate
+the process explicitly because it's unlikely to succeed by keeping
+sending the signal. Although the socket creator is implemented so
+that it will terminate automatically when the boss process exits
+(and that should be the case for any other future process running with
+a higher privilege), but it's recommended to check if there's any
+remaining BIND 10 process if this message is logged. For all other
+cases, the boss module will keep sending the signal until it confirms
+all child processes terminate. Although unlikely, this could prevent
+the boss module from exiting, just keeping sending the signals. So,
+again, it's advisable to check if it really terminates when this
+message is logged.
