man signal on OpenBSD also states to #include <signal.h>, it's just signal.h includes sys/signal.h and for the function used by dwm sys/signal.h is all that is required on OpenBSD. I don't run any other systems so if signal.h is more portable then go with it. -- James Turner BSD Group Consulting http://www.bsdgroup.org
