from the man page:
Managing the Jail
Normal machine shutdown commands, such as halt(8), reboot(8), and
shutdown(8), cannot be used successfully within the jail. To kill all
processes in a jail, you may log into the jail and, as root, use one of
the following commands, depending on what you want to accomplish:
kill -TERM -1
kill -KILL -1
Last I read, a process couldn't trap SIGKILL to do anything with it,
wheres SIGTERM is trappable, so a proper shutdown of the process can be
accomplished, whereas -KILL just blows it out of the water ...
