    Some applications create a connection to the db and stay idle and connected to the db. That way when data is requested it simply reuses that idle connection. Killing them defeats that purpose and will fill up your SQL Server log with killed connections.

    And may cause application errors if the application is not set to handle connections that it thinks are open but are not.
