I experienced serious trouble because this is not the default behaviour 
for mom...

I always put the -p parameter, and I wonder why I may have something 
else !!! Why could someone want his job killed when restarting mom ???

I urge the developers to put "-p" as the default behaviour for mom... or 
at least to put this option in the startup script for the different 
packages (rpm or deb...)
