Whatever for? At least ctrl-C sends SIGINT. ctlr-D just flushes the input stream, generating a zero length read if the stream is already flushed, and a zero length read means EOF. But the program has to be running _and_ reading its input to notice this. In short, if "kill -9" doesn't get you anywhere, ctrl-D doesn't even make into the waste of time category because it is not even a signal.
