The init scripts of both obsworker and obsscheduler use killall to kill any worker and scheduler processes. This prevents our build server (which uses chroots instead of a vm) from building the obsworker image using kiwi since all bs_worker processes are killed as soon as the obsworkers postinstallation script calls /etc/init.d/obsworker try-restart.

Looking at egrep '(pkill|killall|pidof|pgrep)' /etc/init.d/* suggests that most init scripts use other means to identify old processes (like pid files).
