Description Sam Lawrance freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2006-01-30 04:50:02 UTC 
	Services stopped with a new style rc script wait indefinitely for the
process to die (using the default behaviour).  For some services which become
wedged sometimes and don't respond to a TERM signal, it would be useful to
be able to kill the process after a timeout.

Fix: 

http://people.freebsd.org/~lawrance/patch-rc.subr

This patch adds the wait_max_for_pids function.  It is similar to wait_for_pids
but the first argument is a timeout which specifies the maximum amount of time
to wait.

The default stop sequence is then changed to check the ${name}_stop_timeout
variable.  If it is set, the script will call wait_max_for_pids and the process
will be killed after the timeout.

If ${name}_stop_timeout is unset it the script will use wait_for_pids (ie behaviour
unchanged).

State Changed
From-To: open->feedback

Oops, this is so old you must have removed the patchfile!  Perhaps it 
would be just as easy to test for the _stop_timeout variable inside 
wait_for_pids?

I have modified the patch.
 - to be applied cleanly for 8.2-RELEASE ( and 9-STABLE).
 - introduce default_stop_timeout
 - kill -KILL only if timeout
