Right, if something in the user session does not terminate upon SIGTERM
and stays around, we will wait for that amount of time for it to shut
down. This is a safety measure to avoid hard-killing user processes
which still need to save documents or other data. A long shutdown time
is an inconvenience for sure, but this is better than losing data by
instantly killing hanging processes.

It would be better to find out the particular process that's hanging
(see "Debugging boot/shutdown problems" in
/usr/share/doc/systemd/README.Debian.gz) and file a bug against that.

** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu)
