Olli Niemi (olliniem) wrote : Systemd has wrong kill mode on shutdown

It has been normal that applications first get the SIGTERM signal before SIGKILL on shutdown/reboot in order to successfully finish any pending tasks. Now it seem this logic has been changed to something else, causing problems to mosh and many others:

SIGTERM suggestion can be seen here:

I created this error report to find out the correct way for applications to fix this problem or to create one fix to systemd, bringing back the old "BSD shutdown" functionality.

This report is for Ubuntu 15.04.
