I think that the word "immediately" needs to stay, as that's what
differentiates "halt" from "stop".
The documentation in its current form seems to imply that named
returns a signal to rndc as it's exiting.
Perhaps even a simple change such as:
"If -p is specified named’s process id is returned when named begins
its shutdown process. This gives an external process a way to
determine when named had completed halting via the 'wait' shell built-
in or some other method."
And here is where we realize why I don't make my living as a technical
writer.

trying to say.
Just to clarify the documentation part:
Stop the server immediately.
Maybe we should just remove the "immediately" part.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
