Package: madman
Version: 0.93.0-3
Severity: wishlist

For various reasons, I run madman on multiple machines and copy its
database back and forth.  Occasionally, I forget to save and exit madman
on one machine.  Unfortunately, right now, there appears to be no way to
force a running madman process to save its database without having access
to the window manager in which it's running.  (I don't know if the HTTP
server can do this; that's not really the best solution for my situation.)

It would be great if madman could acquire a SIGHUP handler that would save
the database before exiting so that I can log on to the system where I
left madman running and kill -HUP the process safely.
