nodm unsucessfull in terminating X server on failure

[jorno]

We use 'nodm' in our diskless kiosk-system, where multiple clients boots from the same NFS-share.

Running Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Installed nodm from Ubuntu repo, version 0.11-1.3ubuntu1

I have modified the nodm.service to get better control of the process (The faulting was also happening with original nodm.service, but it was less visible):

[Unit]
Documentation=man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)
SourcePath=/etc/init.d/nodm
Description=LSB: No Display Manager
Before=multi-user.target
Before=multi-user.target
Before=multi-user.target
Before=graphical.target
After=console-screen.service
After=kbd.service
After=hal.service
After=remote-fs.target
Wants=cups.service
RequiresMountsFor=/home/bruker /var/lib/xkb/

[Service]
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/nodm
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/nodm $NODM_OPTIONS
Restart=always
TimeoutStopSec=5s
KillMode=mixed

This works on 20 serveres, with 5-50 clients connected.

But at some random time, X is unable to start on a client.
NODM tries to terminate Xorg, but doesn't do so sucessfully.

nodm is "sending X server 858 the TERM signal"

That doesn't solve anything.

If I run "kill -9 858" as root, everything is OK again:
