i've updated the instructions to install at a synology nas. i found that it is absolutely necessary to kill MinimServer before shutting down the NAS, otherwise the NAS will get stuck during the shutdown process and one has to physically pull out the power plug. This is somewhat unusual, maybe you can give some more insight.

I tried shutting down my QNAP NAS with MinimServer running. I didn't use the QPKG version of MinimServer (which automatically kills the MinimServer process on shutdown, as you're doing in your updated version of minim.sh). Instead, I did a separate manual installation of MinimServer and started it from an SSH command prompt. The NAS shutdown completed normally.

Did you get the shutdown problem after you had started MinimServer automatically from minim.sh? If so, the problem may have been that the NAS was calling 'minim.sh stop' during its shutdown sequence and your previous version of minim.sh didn't handle this call correctly.

Regardless of what caused the problem, it's a good idea to kill the MinimServer process as you're doing in your current version of minim.sh. This allows MinimServer to send out UPnP notifications that's it's terminating, so that control points can remove MinimServer from their list of servers.
