processes in the control group of this unit will be killed on
unit stop (for services: after the stop command is executed,
as configured with <code class="varname">ExecStop=</code>). If set to
<code class="option">process</code>, only the main process itself is
killed. If set to <code class="option">mixed</code>, the
<code class="constant">SIGTERM</code> signal (see below) is sent to the
main process while the subsequent <code class="constant">SIGKILL</code>
signal (see below) is sent to all remaining processes of the
unit's control group. If set to <code class="option">none</code>, no
process is killed. In this case, only the stop command will be
executed on unit stop, but no process be killed otherwise.
Processes remaining alive after stop are left in their control
group and the control group continues to exist after stop
unless it is empty.</p><p>Processes will first be terminated via
<code class="constant">SIGTERM</code> (unless the signal to send is
changed via <code class="varname">KillSignal=</code>). Optionally, this
is immediately followed by a <code class="constant">SIGHUP</code> (if
enabled with <code class="varname">SendSIGHUP=</code>). If then, after a
delay (configured via the <code class="varname">TimeoutStopSec=</code>
option), processes still remain, the termination request is
repeated with the <code class="constant">SIGKILL</code> signal (unless
this is disabled via the <code class="varname">SendSIGKILL=</code>
option). See
<a href="http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/kill.2.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">kill</span>(2)</span></a>
