down, do you mean that services should just do the proper thing when
sent the appropriate signal(7)? Like a uniform way of being signalled
to shut down? (an analogy would be destructors in OOP)
Many of the services just simply kill the pid. The final part of a
system shutdown would take care of that. The added time to run the
service script and source all the functions and display words to the
screen is just needless overhead.
