Server Fault is a question and answer site for professional system and network administrators. It's 100% free, no registration required.

I have process that needs arbitrary amount of time to shutdown, anywhere between 2 seconds and couple of minutes. It is important that this process exits gracefully (not killed). I use supervisord and ubuntu server to run it.

When the server get ACPI shutdown signal (reboot command from a VPS provider, that's what EC2 does I assume), will supervisord (and the whole system) wait for all the child processes to exit during shutdown sequence?
