global_send_sigint is -1 by default. If it is -1, we either send SIGKILL or SIGINIT depending on whether we started "new pidns with init" or "new pidns without init". If global_send_sigint is explicitly set to 0 by user (--signal is set). no signal is sent. Given that we are making restart() available in libcheckpoint.a, would it make sense to switch the behaviors of 0 and -1 ? i.e if global_send_sigint is 0, send the default signal (SIGINT or SIGKILL). If it is -1, then don't send any signal. That way, applications of restart() (i.e LXC) can simply memset(&args, 0, sizeof(args)) and get the default behavior. Now they have to explicitly set to -1.
