Hi

I have no problem with changing some code in microupsd so it behave in certain 
way. It is handling SIGTERM and other signals if needed.
The problem for me is that SIGTERM is send to process during system reboot and 
system halt - so I need to differentiate between the two.

If you can suggest me  a way, maybe with some example I will change my code.

Best Regards
