The reason for this "first TERM then KILL" approach is that an

it) or it

sends a TERM
to all processes first and gives them a chance to cleanup any data
they might
want to save and then those applications that are left are killed.
what can be done if it takes more than 5 seconds to perform the cleanup
and closeout process when sigterm is received??
Nothing. And that's good, because I definitely dislike it when the
computer hangs in shutting down (especially if that computer is a laptop
with a spinning harddrive and I plan to move it rapidly after shutdown).
