Stas> It doesn't work. I've tested:
Here's an idea... in the startup code, create a pipe and fork.
block the kid on a read. ni-night, kid.
when the parent quits, the kid will get EOF, and can go off and clean
things up.
in fact, it won't get the EOF until *all* the processes sharing the
write-end have quit, so it would seem to be exactly what is needed.
