How about running stop in background and monitoring the log+child-process in the foreground like this:
(assumption is you have /proc filesystem, if not might need to call ps instead of checking the /proc/$CHILD directory).

Code:
stop weblogin &
CHILD=$!
while ! grep -q "unable to stop weblogin" startup.log && [ -d /proc/$CHILD ]
do
   sleep 5
done
grep -q "unable to stop weblogin" startup.log && [ -d /proc/$CHILD ] && kill $CHILD


You could also add a saftey check, eg if after X loops it kills the child anyway (for taking too long).

XtRegisterCaseConverter()												 XtRegisterCaseConverter()

Name
  XtRegisterCaseConverter - register a case converter.

Synopsis
  void XtRegisterCaseConverter(display, proc, start, stop)
	 Display *display;
	 XtCaseProc proc;
	 KeySym start;
	 KeySym stop;

Inputs
  display   Specifies the display from which the key events are to come.

  proc	    Specifies the XtCaseProc that is to do the conversions.

  start     Specifies the first keysym for which this converter is valid.

  stop	    Specifies the last keysym for which this converter is valid.

Description
  XtRegisterCaseConverter()  registers	proc  with the Intrinsics as a procedure to be called in order to determine the correct uppercase and
  lowercase versions of any keysyms between start and stop inclusive.  The registered converter overrides any previous converters  registered
  in that range.

  See XtCaseProc(2) for a description of how to write a case converter procedure.

Usage
  The  Translation Manager uses case converters as part of its keycode-to-keysym translation process.  The default converter understands case
  conversion for all keysyms defined in the X11 protocol.  You will probably never need to register a case converter unless you  are  working
  with non-standard keysyms.

  The only way to remove a converter is to register a new one, perhaps an "identity" converter which performs no conversion at all.

  The registered case converters are invoked by the translation manager, and can also be explicitly called with the function XtConvertCase().

Structures
     typedef XID KeySym;

  XtConvertCase(1), XtGetKeysymTable(1), XtKeysymToKeycodeList(1), XtSetKeyTranslator(1), XtTranslateKeycode(1),
  XtCaseProc(2), XtKeyProc(2).
