Public bug reported:
I have a daemon that is not able to intercept a killing signal and do
the necessary clean up, by killing its own child processes.
Rather than coding a pretty complicated solution to that problem, I
found it much easier to modify the start-stop-daemon program with a new
option, --killpg. I attach the patch, it is tested and in operation now
and works just fine. I hope that you will consider making this a part
of future releases; it is a small change that does a really useful
thing; I thought that other people than myself could profit from it.
best regards
Peder Chr. Nørgaard
