i have exactly this problem to deal with on *nix... my app needs to be allowed 
to complete its shutdown closeout procedures or there are problems on the next 
boot when it is started up... on shutdown, app managed data is removed from a 
living data file to another file for restoration on startup... this takes longer 
than 5 seconds and it hurts at times when the system sigkills the app :/
