Another idea is to "split" sendsigs into two scripts, one sendsigs-nfs
to kill all processes currently using the NFS-mounted volumes, for
example using 'fuser -m /path/to/nfs-volume', and one sendsigs
executed between umountnfs.sh and umountfs to kill the remaining
processes?  Such approach should be less dependent on the process
names and other magic constants.
