Maybe sometimes it's useful, maybe not, but I suppose that usually only the controlling process should care about the critical signals received by the controlled process. I simply don't think it should be a system issue. For example I wouldn't like to have a lot of messages in the kernel logs just because I'm debugging some segfaulting programs with gdb. -Andrea - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
