Running killall program_name sends a SIGTERM signal, which a program is free to ignore:
killall program_name
If no signal name is specified, SIGTERM is sent. https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/killall.1.html
To send a SIGKILL signal, you need to use killall -9 or killall -KILL, which cannot be ignored.
killall -9
