RedHat, in particular. I can't vouch for any others.
On my RH 6.2 box, with initscripts-5.00-1 loaded, here's what killproc
does if no killlevel is set (even though a default $killlevel is set to
-9, it's not used in this code):
($pid is the pid of the proc to kill, $base is the name of the proc,
etc)
if [ "$notset" = "1" ] ; then
if ps h $pid>/dev/null 2>&1; then
# TERM first, then KILL if not dead
kill -TERM $pid
usleep 100000
if ps h $pid >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
sleep 1
if ps h $pid >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
sleep 3
if ps h $pid >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
kill -KILL $pid
fi
fi
fi
fi
ps h $pid >/dev/null 2>&1
RC=$?
[ $RC -eq 0 ] && failure "$base shutdown" || success "$base
shutdown"
RC=$((! $RC))
# use specified level only
else
if ps h $pid >/dev/null 2>&1; then
kill $killlevel $pid
RC=$?
[ $RC -eq 0 ] && success "$base $killlevel" || failure "$base
$killlevel"
fi
fi
Is 6.1 this different from 6.2? This code on the surface seems
reasonable to me -- am I missing something? The 6.2 code (found in
/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions, for those who might not know where to find
killproc) sets a default killlevel but never uses it -- ignorant but not
stupid.
