[BusyBox] Ordering on init shutdown.

When busybox init gets killed (you reboot or halt....)
it does three main things in shutdown_system().
1. It sends all procs SIGTERM.
2. It sends all procs SIGKILL
3. It runs the shutdown actions given in /etc/inittab
I believe the ordering should actually be.
1. It runs the shutdown actions given in /etc/inittab
2. It sends all procs SIGTERM.
3. It sends all procs SIGKILL
I have some processes that are best killed off in a certain order,
and I've built the scripts to manage that, but because of init's
ordering I can't control this.
Are there reasons the current ordering is preferred?
If not, would you consider swapping these?
Thanks,
Joel Krauska
