I apologize for the delay! Hopefully you have this taken care of already, though if it’s still up in the air, I wouldn’t run killall unless the process simply won’t die, or it needs to be killed now (i.e. runaway process that is consuming too much CPU/RAM and needs to be force-stopped).

When you run the command to shut down the VPS, the service manager will attempt to shut them down as quickly as possible. In some cases, a service shutdown request can hang and delay the remaining service shutdowns in queue.

The best course of action would be to simply shut down any service that needs to be prior to powering down.

i.e

service mysql stop

or

systemctl stop mysql

That’ll do a proper shutdown according to the method(s) in the script designed to perform the action. Once done, that will prevent further requests from being served from that service.
