Is the current default of 90 sec between progressively stronger signals sufficient?
Also, given all these complaints about shortening the timeout, how many people know or have got around to changing either the default or the timeout for a specific service? This is all configurable (and yes, I have previously changed the default, because I felt it was too long). However, I even found out while investigating this email, that it is possible for a service to ask for more time on the fly, although it does take coding with the appropriate systemd API. I would suggest reading the man page "systemd.kill" for a better idea on what actually happens and what is possible.
