"evolution --force-shutdown" didn't work or still tries to "force"
termination of all processes.

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ strings /usr/lib/evolution/killev | grep kill
kill
No response from Evolution -- killing the process

I suspect that "TERM" is shortened for "SIGTERM". I might be mistaken.
OTOH it anyway is the default. However, if so, I would sidestep
"evolution --force-shutdown" to send a SIGKILL (-9), by simply
replacing "-TERM" with "-9".
