[Maarten Fonville]

I tested the packages, and bash history is now properly retained during
a reboot :-)

  Systemd does not send SIGTERM first on shutdown

Bug description:
  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.
