The Unix signal
interface is complex and hard to work with; some developers
have argued that its design is
“unfixable”. So when Walt Drummond proposed
increasing the number of signals that Linux systems could manage, eyebrows
could be observed at increased altitude across the Internet. The proposed
increase seems unlikely to happen, but the underlying goal — to support a
decades-old feature from other operating systems — may yet become a
reality.
