Although the ALRM and PIPE signals are probably technically correct it might be clearer to use different terms/explanations in the interface. I have the feeling not everyone understands these signals.

man signal
will show all the possibilities. SIGPIPE isn't very clear because it really just means a child process terminated while the parent is still trying to communicate with it, but in this case the child is the ssh, rsync, or smbclient that is doing the transfer from the remote and the likely reasons are either a network problem or that the remote side terminated.

I know I can take a look at the man pages, but I still think it would better for the web interface to display something a bit clearer than just the signal name.
