Stop Command

The stop command is supposed to stop the application and not return until the application has been completely stopped. It should be a UNIX command complete with its arguments that is acceptable by hatimerun.

If the stop command is provided, the GDS stop method launches the stop command with 80% of the timeout. Regardless of the outcome of launching the stop command, the GDS stop method still sends SIGKILL with 15% of the stop timeout. The remaining 5% of the time is assumed to have been used by the house keeping overhead.

If the stop command is omitted, the GDS tries to stop the application using signals. GDS first sends SIGTERM with 80% of the stop timeout. If the SIGTERM fails to stop the application, GDS then sends SIGKILL with 15% of the stop timeout. The remaining 5% of the time is assumed to have been used by the house keeping overhead.
