Attached is my user's emacs.service file and my .kill-emacs.sh.  The sh
file is needed for an unrelated issue, namely that emacsclient exists
before the server is shut down and as far as systemd is concerned, once
ExecStop has completed the daemon should be shut down.  If it is not,
the default behaviour is to send it SIGKILL.
