Title:
  /etc/init.d/sendsigs should stop Upstart jobs with no stop on
  condition

Status in “sysvinit” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: sysvinit

  If an Upstart job has no 'stop on' condition, Upstart won't stop any
  instances of it.

  However, if a job has no 'stop on', but *does* specify 'respawn' we
  have a potential problem at shutdown since if that job stops, it will
  be restarted by Upstart until its respawn limit is reached.

  Further, if the job does not stop, it will never be killed by
  sendsigs.

  The solution is to modify the upstart_jobs() function in
  /etc/init.d/sendsigs to only return PIDS for jobs which *do* have a
  'stop on' specified. This can be achieved by feeding the list of jobs
  to 'initctl show-config' and filtering on those jobs which have no
  'stop on' line.

  See http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#list-all-jobs-with-no-stop-on-
  condition for an example of how to list jobs with no "stop on"
  condition.

  The best solution for jobs which do not specify a 'stop on' condition:

  - call "stop --no-wait $job"
  - do NOT add the associated job processes to OMITPIDS to handle the case where 'stop' fails to stop the jobs in a "reasonable amount of time" (for example for jobs which specify ridiculously large values for 'kill timeout').
