Creating the sendsignals script

• Create a new file /etc/init.d/sendsignals containing:

#!/bin/sh
# Begin /etc/init.d/sendsignals

check_status()
{
  if [ $? = 0 ]
  then
    echo "OK"
  else
    echo "FAILED"
  fi
}

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

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

# End /etc/init.d/sendsignals
