Reboot, systemd and SIGTERM

[jignatius]

Hi,

I have seen an issue related to the "reboot" request in System Services. An application on a STB is making this request after encountering a major error, in this case failing to launch the EPG (UI) app.

The application is started and managed by systemd. It expects to receive a SIGTERM signal to do a graceful shutdown. However, no SIGTERM is received by the application after the reboot request. Hence it is unable to do a graceful shutdown before reboot. This can sometimes results in a core dump file.

Can someone tell me if System Services does do a shutdown vis-à-vis systemd? It doesn't appear to be doing that. Otherwise I would expect to receive the SIGTERM signal from systemd.
