Reducing shutdown timeout for "a stop job is running"
/etc/systemd/system.conf has a line
#DefaultTimeoutStopSec=90s
which can be uncommented and changed
How do I reduce the timeout from 5 minutes to, say, 15 seconds or so?
You re-build systemd from source, patching the hardwired timeout in systemv-sysv-generator from TimeoutSec=5min to whatever you want. Or you ask the systemd people for a control knob somewhere in the Fedora/SUSE or LSB headers.
Or, on the gripping hand, you give up on using this rc script that you have and write a systemd service unit for your service, whose timeouts you can set with an explicit TimeoutSec= setting, installed with a drop-in settings file in /etc/systemd/system/pm2.service.d/timeout.conf if necessary.
Given this, this, this, this, this, and others, the first rule for migrating to systemd applies here as well.
