[RFC] stopsignal stanza

[Marc - A. Dahlhaus]

Hallo List,


as slapd requires that it receives a SIGINT on user initiated stopping
of service and will easily eat the directory-database for lunch if
anything higher like SIGTERM or SIGKILL is used, there is currently no
way to create a proper init conf for this daemon.

To get around this situation i plan to add an "stopsignal SIGNAL" stanza
to upstart. SIGNAL could be INT, USR1, USR2 or TERM(the default).
I intentionally left out KILL here as it is used by upstart after the
"kill timeout" exceeds.

I'm in the middle of implementing the stanza and change the system_kill
functions second param trom "bool force" to "int signal" and on signal
== 0 sending SIGKILL to the process...

I'll send the patches after i have tested that they work as expected...

Marc

OT:

Do i have to get through any legal or copyright stuff before i can
contribute to upstart?
