No. Even killall5 -KILL won't. Process with PID 1 is not killed,
even if it is a shell. Kernel will not panic.

Also, killall5 does not kill processes in its session,
so it works just fine to have killall5 in a shutdown shell script.
I mean, killall5 doesn't kill its own parent process (shell) too.
