DESCRIPTION
      The  default  signal  for  kill is TERM....
[...]

"kill `cat $HOME/.locks/mldonkey.pid`"
should work, although I would put it in ip-down[.d]
If there's any timing involved, you should keep in mind that there is a delay 
between the command and the actual clean shutdown (because shuttuing down 
mldonkey takes some time.
