Hi,
after thinking about the signal name again, I disagree. "terminate" does
not mean kill, but is a request to gracefully shut down. "stop" from my point
of view is too soft, as it does not indicates strongly enough, that the job is
completely shut down and "cleared". I would interpret "stop" more as an
interrupt signal (with an according "re-start" signal, that wakes up the job
again).
Any other opinions? Maybe we need a voting for the signal name.
