Hi,

please implement a way to pass a user-specified value for the --retry
option in the start-stop-daemon call in killproc.

There is a number of daemons that are not going to die in the five
seconds that are hardcoded in killproc (With nagios and torrus, I am
involved in maintenance of two of them, squid being a third one I know
of), and it would be great to have appropriate code in killproc to
handle these cases.

Handling this in a number of init scripts is error-prone and
duplicates code.

As an alternative, it would be good to have a (admittedly
non-standard) function that signals the daemon and waits for it to die
while printing dots.

Greetings
Marc
