Re: Faster shutdown and the ubuntu "multiuser" update-rc.d extention



* Felipe Sateler 

| If there are daemons which don't need to save state, or do useful work on
| shutdown (and thus don't need an init script)... why bother with TERMing them
| instead of directly KILLing them?

As an example, an ftpd or smtpd could then close the connection with
«service going down» or similar instead of the socket just dying.
