I'm fine with this patch. If you want to stay offline for longer time
you can use a loop like

while /bin/true; do pkill -USR1 '^sssd$'; sleep 10; done

But I'm not sure if production code should catch USR1. Is there a use
case to force sssd or a provider to go offline in production? If not I
would recommend to make it configurable.

Sumit
