Hash :5a90631d Message :Allow passing a different signal than SIGTERM in the default rc_stop()
function. This will allow to simplify some rc.d script that cook there own
function to gracefully stop a process (e.g. web servers). There are other use
cases as well.
And do the same for rc_reload because it's cheap and can also simplify a
handful of rc.d scripts.
Behave like shutdown and if the process is still not down after daemon_timeout
(configurable; default to 30s), then send a SIGKILL.
While here, factorise pkill invocations into a _rc_sendsig() function that can
potentially be used by rc.d scripts instead of cooking pkill lines; this will
benefit from the configured routing table etc.
