SIGTERM is a graceful request to the application to terminate itself and despite their names kill and killall default to SIGTERM (also useful to send other signals to processes, like START, STOP and NOHUP).
kill
killall
kill -9 though...
kill -9
"You should terminate yourself, NOW!"

killall is deprecated, we use pkill now.
