The TERM signal is typically sent to a process by its parent, the user 
or the system when it wants to have the process shut itself down safely. 
    It is possible for a process to send itself a TERM signal, but that 
is not typically done.  So the thing to do is to try and track down 
where that signal is being sent from and investigate why it is doing so.
