Choosing the Stop_timeout value for the Zone SMF Component

The stop method for the zone SMF component spends 60% of the value for the Stop_timeout using svcadm to disable the configured SMF service in the zone. If that failed, the next 20% of the value for the Stop_timeout will be spent to first send SIGTERM then SIGKILL to the processes associated with this SMF service. Therefore the Stop_timeout value for the zone SMF component should be computed so that 60% is enough to successfully disable the configured SMF service in the zone.
