Stopping Amd
============

   Amd stops in response to two signals.

`SIGTERM'
     causes the top-level automount points to be unmounted and then Amd
     to exit.  Any automounted filesystems are left mounted.  They can
     be recovered by restarting Amd with the `-r' command line option.

`SIGINT'
     causes Amd to attempt to unmount any filesystems which it has
     automounted, in addition to the actions of `SIGTERM'.  This signal
     is primarily used for debugging.

   Actions taken for other signals are undefined.

   The easiest and safest way to stop Amd, without having to find its
process ID by hand, is to use the `ctl-amd' script, as with:

     ctl-amd stop
