Using sigaction() you can give the semantic of your choice to any
signal.  Correct if I am wrong but a lot of daemons already do that to
implement things like "/etc/init.d/foo reload".

Unix signals are infinitely inferior to D-BUS. Yet they look like the
right tool for this simple job, don't they?


Implemented one way or the other, this new "quit" feature would be nice.
