as configured with <varname>ExecStop=</varname>). If set to

killed. If set to <option>mixed</option>, the

main process while the subsequent <constant>SIGKILL</constant>

signal (see below) is sent to all remaining processes of the

unit's control group. If set to <option>none</option>, no

process is killed. In this case, only the stop command will be

executed on unit stop, but no process be killed otherwise.

is immediately followed by a <constant>SIGHUP</constant> (if

enabled with <varname>SendSIGHUP=</varname>). If then, after a

delay (configured via the <varname>TimeoutStopSec=</varname>

option), processes still remain, the termination request is

repeated with the <constant>SIGKILL</constant> signal or the

signal specified via <varname>FinalKillSignal=</varname> (unless

this is disabled via the <varname>SendSIGKILL=</varname>
