I have seen from the logs/kernel messages that a termination signal has been sent to a process with PID say 1234. Now (few seconds after I see it), ps says that the process is no longer running, (to be exact, there is no process currently running with PID 1234).
So, one strong possibility is that the termination signal was successful. Now, is there any way to know any detail(s) of that process/service/daemon which had PID 1234 at that time (like the process name, location of the binary etc) ?
More emphasis is on late PID of the process killed a few seconds back and not on the specific termination signal.
