Plex Tuner Service is not stopping, preventing shut down of Plex service

So I was actually spending some time on this today.

The truth is we don’t actually handle SIGTERM on any of the chidlren for freebsd or linux (or anything that’s not windows really)

This is because it should be safe to do a SIGKILL.

That said the port should update the script to send -9 rather then TERM when stopping children.
This is what the linux scripts do anyway.

Until the port updates please update:
kill $sig_stop ${_PLEX_CHILDREN}
TO
kill -9 ${_PLEX_CHILDREN}
