crontab hanging won't die on SIGTERM in jail

[Michael Scheidell]

then doing this doesn't make any sense (but fixed it)

echo 'sig_stop=SIGTERM' > /etc/rc.conf.d/cron

or, this even fixed it:

echo 'sig_stop=SIGTERM' >> /etc/rc.conf

the 'killall -SIGTERM cron' worked UNLESS I HAD PREVIOUSLY TRIED 
/etc/rc.d/cron stop.

now, with sig_stop in a conf file, it works.  doesn't make sense, but works.

Something, somewhere, somebody is masking or setting sig_stop to '' as a 
default.  I can't find it.

rc.subr seems to indicate it will set it to SIGTERM if undef:

grep sig_stop /etc/*
rc.subr:#                       kill $sig_stop $rc_pid
rc.subr:#                       ($sig_stop defaults to TERM.)
rc.subr:                        _doit=$(_run_rc_killcmd "${sig_stop:-TERM}")

nothing in /etc/defaults/* or /etc/rc.conf overrides it

grep sig_stop /etc/defaults/*

grep sig_stop /etc/rc.d/cron
grep sig_stop /etc/rc.d/*
/etc/rc.d/nfsd:sig_stop="USR1"
