So I feel like I'm missing something fundamental here...perhaps somebody can supply a suitable cluebat. It seems inevitable to me that, sooner or later, somebody will surely wish that this mechanism could send a signal other than SIGKILL, but this interface won't allow that. Even if you won't want to implement an arbitrary signal now, it seems like defining the interface to require writing "9" rather than "1" would avoid closing that option off in the future. I assume there's some reason why you don't want to do that, but I'm to slow to figure out what it is...? Thanks, jon
