I interpreted this in  a way that running kill script is part of the stop
process with alert and since alert fails, stop script wont be executed
either. Because it seems that this not a single problem but when this
happens, mail alert also fails.. What lead me to this is that kill script
actually works most of the time.

Ill going to do some stracing next (this week) to see what really happens..
