Agreed. I have runit in mind, which (correctly) waits as long as it takes. I think daemontools and that thing solaris uses share this property, but I'd have to check.

Upon reciept of SIGTERM, bosserver should initiate an orderly shutdown. This will take as long as it takes. Bossever makes no promise about how quickly it will finish, although it should not unnecessarily delay the process or allow itself to become stuck indefinitely. But what really matters at the end of the day is that we don't wind up in a situation where bosserver has died but its children are still alive. That can lead to really bad stuff. - a _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
