I find that when I do a reboot or poweroff (from command line) running
processes are not being sent SIGTERM. The one that really annoys me is a text
editor not receiving it and thus me losing work.

The systemd documentation says that it should be sent; good old init used to do
this.

Is the documentation wrong or do I need to tweak some config somewhere ?

I am running Debian 13 with the mate desktop. MATE Terminal provides the
terminal emulation. The editor is my own version of microemacs (which does
handle SIGTERM correctly).

The GUI (mate, etc) is actually irrelevant - the same thing happens to the
editor being run on a console.

TIA
