[Buildbot-devel] Graceful shutdown from slave?

Hey all,

I'm running some buildslaves in VirtualBox machines, and I think
there's something weird with their kernel module that is leaking
(slabtop shows that the kernel slowly ends up taking up all available
physical ram -- yuck).

Anyway, I know there's a way from the web console, but is there a way
to cause Twistd to gracefully shutdown? I'm thinking something like
"make graceful-shutdown". That way, I can have a cronjob that does a
"make gracefulshutdown; shutdown -r now" nightly, or so.

best,
Andrew
