SIGTERM + 10 SECONDS BEFORE SIGKILL TO ALLOW NORMAL EXIT

When changing to single user run state, send a SIGTERM to processes
and give them 10 seconds to exit before sending a SIGKILL.  This was added
to allow normal shutdown of processes.  In particular, it allows the X
server to reset the screen and keyboards to normal states.
