Aha, I just learned about this:
systemctl show node.service -p TimeoutStopUSec
TimeoutStopUSec=1min 30s
That explains where the 90 seconds is coming from.
The next question is: why isn't the dbus-send causing my nfs-ganesha
process to shutdown quickly, long before the systemd TimeoutStopUSec
expires?
Thanks,
Todd
