Possible solution Copied

You need to find out who is killing the Netprobe process, below is a description taken from RedHat:

Signal 15 is a SIGTERM (see “kill -l” for a complete list). It’s the way most programs are gracefully terminated, and is relatively normal behaviour. This indicates system has delivered a SIGTERM to the processes. This is usually at the request of some other process (via kill()) but could also be sent by your process to itself (using raise()). This signal requests an orderly shutdown of process or system itself.
