Public bug reported: It has been normal that applications first get the SIGTERM signal before SIGKILL on shutdown/reboot in order to successfully finish any pending tasks. Now it seem this logic has been changed to something else, causing problems to mosh and many others:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mosh/+bug/1446982 SIGTERM suggestion can be seen here: http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?shutdown+8 I created this error report to find out the correct way for applications to fix this problem or to create one fix to systemd, bringing back the old "BSD shutdown" functionality.
