Hi All,
Am I correct that when your shutdown/poweroff/reboot, that the OS sends a blanket SIGTERM to all running programs?
And, this does not necessarily apply to programs running in the background that were started by systemd?
Many thanks, -T
systemd runs the "stop" action on each unit as it shuts down. This is usually sending it SIGTERM and waiting for it to exit. It can be customized for each unit. If a unit does not shut down it waits for a timeout and then does SIGKILL which stops the process no matter what.
Thank you!
In the situation I am facing, a database is not shutdown by the systemd script that started it at boot. There is no "ExecStop" exec line. (NO, IT WAS NOT MY DOING !!! There is politics involved.) Does the general shutdown take care of this issue as you described? I am thinking there is a possibility of data corruptions.
