>From line 99 of /usr/src/sbin/init/init.c,

  #define DEATH_SCRIPT  120  /* wait for 2min for /etc/rc.shutdown */

and on line 1576 it looks like you can change this with the sysctl
'kern.shutdown_timeout'.

But 2 minutes is a long time for a shell script - are you sure that
everything is working correctly?
