      # TERM is sent by sidekiqctl when stopping sidekiq. Without declaring these as
      # normal exit codes, it just respawns.
      normal exit 0 TERM

      # Upstart waits 5 seconds by default to kill a process. Increase timeout to
      # give sidekiq process enough time to exit.
      kill timeout 30
