I'm not sure if it's been mentioned in this thread, so just in case it
hasn't.
If you read the portion of code in src/init.c that deals with the
killing of processes, you can see (well "can see" is a relative term.
You need to know a bit of C code to understand it, and I very well can
have gotten it wrong too when I originally wrote that modification) init
will be sending the TERM and KILL signals to its direct children.
Anything started by init itself should fall under this category. In
effect, any program that is started through /etc/inittab will be killed
if it's still running. This includes the once, respawn, and other
categories of /etc/inittab entries.
