I can't remember off the top of my head, but your shell script might not be relaying the SIGTERM. Make sure you start your node process with the "exec" statement. This will replace the script's process with node instead of having node be a subprocess of your script.

When I run the script myself and kill it, it gets the signal and acts correctly. Only when I poweroff the system, this doesn’t work.

I also tried prepending exec, but no dice.
