} in rc.conf (based on a code snippet from Ignatios).

     The way shutdown is handled by SysV is one of my biggest peeves
with it.  It is all too easy for a shutdown script to hang,
necessitating a hard reset of the system.  If we're going to have this
feature, it should be setup so that there is a time limit on how long
rc.shutdown can run.  If the time limit is exceeded, then shutdown
should continue anyways (do kill -15, sleep 30, do kill -9, ...).
