what's the difference of bp.kill_all and netbackup stop

Hi All experts,   I encounter a questions that what's difference of the "bp.kill_all" and "netbackup stop" commands in NBU7.5. These two commands can both stop the NBU process in the Linux/Unix...

    bp.kill_all is the administrator "die now" netbackup command where as "netbackup star / stop" is the script called upon OS shutdown / reboot. 

    You cold say "netbackup" is the graceful way top stop netbackup and bp.kill_all is less graceful but really handy if "netbackup stop" doesn't do the job.

    Test the command out as Marianne suggested.
