Hi,

I changed the script a little, so it does not wait 30 seconds for the process which may actually be shut down a lot faster.

Nice day 2u2.

kill -0 is often convenient, if checking when it went away. Works just as normal signals do, but does not
have any effect in the receiving process.

Can anyone condense it, having the KILL in the loop but without the trailing sleep...
Code:
daemons="ppp gps"

for sig in TERM 0 0 0 0
do
        killall -q -u0 -$sig $daemons || exit
        sleep 1
done

killall -q -u0 -KILL $daemons

(FreeBSD's killall, quiet, uid 0 processes only)
