Who turned off the lights?

A common occurrence with all versions of zoneminder is for it to stop. There are various postings suggesting it might be mysql or other conditions that overloaded the system. In the latter, there is no hint on determining which condition triggered the overload. Work arounds have been suggested by making systemd always restart zoneminder and another is to use additional software that monitors zoneminder and restarts it if it detects that it has stopped.
The fact that a stop command is recorded in the log suggests zoneminder received a sigterm signal. Looking at the structure available to the signal handler of the process receiving the signal, the invoking process id is included. Suggested is the log entry be updated to include the process id and process name, if known.
