I'm going to really recommend checking out the s6-overlay, I think it
will do everything you're talking about out-of-the-box. No need to
customize the Docker stop signal, it handles gracefully shutting
down services, reaping orphaned processes, and so on. It's really
useful and will probably save you a lot of time.
