To my knowledge, the only exploiter of *SIGNAL is GCS, which has been used since around 1986 to run VTAM, NetView, RSCS, AVS, PSF and VSCS applications. The signalling GCS performs is primarily used to - Signal the presence of data in shared memory (usually so that the target of the signal can send it.) - Run a named entry point in another group member (usually so target of the signal can receive data placed in shared memory) - Dump shared memory if a member of the group dies - Join or remove a member of the group GCS has handled large workloads for decades without incident.
