slurpd -- how to properly stop it?

[Misty Stanley-Jones <misty@borkholder.com>]

I've noticed that my generic init script doesn't work for stopping slurpd.  It 
just issues "killall slurpd" which slurpd promptly ignores.  It looks like 
the only way I can kill slurpd is with a -9, but I think this is generally 
considered a bug in applications.  Can someone clue me in on the 'proper' way 
to gracefully stop slurpd?
