Creating the sendsignals script

Create the /etc/init.d/sendsignals script by running the following command:

cat > /etc/init.d/sendsignals << "EOF"
#!/bin/sh
# Begin /etc/init.d/sendsignals

#
# Include the functions declared in the /etc/init.d/functions file
#

source /etc/init.d/functions

#
# Send all the remaining processes the TERM signal
#

echo -n "Sending all processes the TERM signal..."
/sbin/killall5 -15
evaluate_retval

#
# Send all the remaining process (after sending them the TERM signal
# before) the KILL signal.
#

echo -n "Sending all processes the KILL signal..."
/sbin/killall5 -9
evaluate_retval

# End /etc/init.d/sendsignals
