[hobbit] hobbit.sh not stopping server correctly

[Greg Hubbard]

How long are you waiting after you kill the main Hobbit process for all the
other processes to die off?  Sometimes it can take several minutes for all
the iostats and vmstats and such to complete -- they must be independent of
their parent.  Add-ons, especially from deadcat (written for BB, not
Hobbit/Xymon) must be considered separately...
