Maybe it has got a drawback compared to the solution of sending a HUP to the 
runsvdir process (acting on /service/sub/service). Assume this process is 
terminate (by TERM, not HUP), and in the meantime until the finish script 
runs, a directory from /service/sub/service is removed. Then the runsv 
process of that directory will not be terminated.

In other words: runsvdir (by its internal list of all PIDs managed) has a 
better chance for terminating all runsv processes in /service/sub/service 
than a shell script acting based on filenames in /service/sub/service only.
