The two daemons you refer to, treat SIGHUP as a "please re-read your configuration files and restart". This is semi-common. This happens to also be the two daemons you are testing this with, causing some confusino.
Not everything, but some things will still be running.
It wasn't just syslogd and sshd, -HUP also doesn't shut down any of the pflogd/dhclient/cron stuff either. The only process it actually stops is sndiod, all the others restart on their own.
After running commands #1, #3 and #5; almost everything should be killed. Command #1 should take care of the vast majority of daemons started at boot; #3 and #5 are to catch the ones that aren't.
Well, -TERM stops every PID I typed in (the four I didn't being init, two ksh's and ps itself), so I'm not sure where that leave me. I guess it's some kind of timing thing or race condition?
