[sheepdog] howto stop a sheep?

[Dietmar Maurer]

My current init.d script simply send a kill -15 to stop sheep daemons.

Is there a better way to do that?

When I try to restart the sheep I get (only sometimes): 

Jul 18 07:57:36 [main] crash_handler(402) sheep pid 10672 exited unexpectedly.

Jul 18 07:57:37 [main] crash_handler(402) sheep pid 27848 exited unexpectedly.

Any idea why that happens. It work if I simply try again.
