+ summary = wait until the signalled process has terminated
+ [help]
+ This option is handy for system shutdown scripts which would like
+ to terminate the dss daemon process.
+
+ Without --wait the dss process which executes the kill subcommand
+ exits right after the kill(2) system call returns. At this point the
+ signalled process might still be alive (even if SIGKILL was sent).
+ If --wait is given, the process waits until the signalled process
+ has terminated or the timeout expires.
+
+ If --wait is not given, the kill subcommand exits successfully if
+ and only if the signal was sent (i.e., if there exists another dss
+ process to receive the signal). With --wait it exits successfully
+ if, additionally, the signalled process has terminated before the
+ timeout expires.
+
+ It makes only sense to use the option for signals which terminate dss.
