Comment (by vorner):

 Hello

 Two notes:
  * As something failed during the shutdown (I don't know what it was, but
 there was an exception during the shutdown). Then the shutdown is aborted
 and it goes to the emergency shutdown. This should be changed and I
 believe there's a ticket for it somewhere ‒ if we're shutting down, we
 should try to „accumulate“ the exceptions, but shut down as many things as
 possible the usual way.
  * The fact that it fails to deliver the SIGKILL is a problem. I don't
 completely like aborting the KILLs generally, as that could leave some
 other things running without boss and there's less chance of administrator
 noticing that. On the other hand, termination of boss should cause the
 socket creator to shut down, as it will lose the stdin it reads commands
 from and fail.

 Anyway, we might want to examine an ability to keep the „bind low ports“
 privilege only and run as the user the rest runs at. That would solve the
 problem of undeliverable KILL.
