Due to the network glitch, vemkd on primary master does not go down while the new vemkd on the backup master is starting

1) The VEMKD on the failover host cannot properly start as the previous VEMKD still holds the lock on the status file.
2) When the network glitch is over, the master takes over and the failover lim shuts down the VEMKD by sending a SIGTERM
3) The VEMKD on the failover cannot process the SIGTERM as it is still waiting to take over the status file
4) Eventually the failover VEMKD does get the lock and then it processes the SIGTERM and exists
