Hi all, I think a cool addition to runit program sv and s6's s6-svc would be a command to send an arbitrary signal to the daemon being supervised. Let's say a -z was added as an arg to s6-svc or a "genericinterrupt" was added as an arg to sv. Now you could say:
sv genericinterrupt SIGIO myspecialdaemon s6-svc -z SIGIO myspecialdaemon The supervisor already knows the PID of what's being supervised, so it would be an easy way to get an arbitrary signal into a daemon, for those daemons that have non-standard signal usage.
