Hmm, I had an application where I absolutely wanted to kill it (ie, prevent it from surviving by registering a signal handler). But I agree, in general you probably want a sigTERM. So, I guess we need an additional argument here.

I still think that it's enough to have sigTERM here (would be some other default method of killing on non-POSIX systems) *and* the ability to reach pids of processes for direct manipulation. -- __("< Marcin Kowalczyk * qrczak@knm.org.pl http://qrczak.ids.net.pl/ \__/ ^^ SYGNATURA ZASTÊPCZA QRCZAK
