Description
Would be great to add custom signal to use when terminating the service. Currently, only a `SIGTERM` is sent.
Some app are able to reconfigure themselves moving from the "master" state to a "slave" state by sending a custom signal, there is no need to kill them.
Contributor guide
Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the service termination path and its current SIGTERM handling, then determine how a custom signal would be configured and applied. Done means the service can use the requested signal instead of SIGTERM without killing applications that support reconfiguration.
