When zapping a service, the message says "Manually resetting <service> to stopped state." But a script has no hands. :) The term "Forcibly" seems more appropriate. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
"Forcibly" might indicate that the script will kill/signal processes, while all it does is to nullify the pid-file.
manually is fine ... technically the user is manually running zap to force the service to the stop state rather than running stop and letting the script do it
