SYNOPSIS
killjail [ -h | -r ] [ -t timeout ] [ -fq ] jailname ...
DESCRIPTION
killjail can either send signals to a jailer(8) process to
manage the shutdown or restart of a jail or it can kill
all the processes in a jail on it's own.
When no options are given the jail is shutdown as follows:
1. A stop request (SIGTERM) is sent to the jailer(8) pro-
cess for the jail if there is one. This initiates an
orderly shutdown.
2. Any remaining processes are killed with a SIGTERM.
3. If the -f option is specified, send a SIGKILL to any
remaining processes.
OPTIONS
-f Force jail to shutdown sending a SIGKILL as a last
resort.
-h Sends a halt request to a jail (SIGQUIT). The jail
must have a jailer(8) process running inside it.
The jailer(8) process remains running within the
jail, but all other jailed processes are shutdown
in and orderly fashion.
-q Supress warnings.
-r Sends a restart request to a jail (SIGHUP). The
jail must have a jailer(8) process running inside
it.
-t timeout
The timeout in seconds to wait between steps 1, 2
and 3 above. Defaults to 3.

I'm sure they're out there. Let me know.
