I oppose it being a shell option because first, it's a single function call that works on only one target platform; and second, its effect doesn't seem to stick. If I'm not missing anything, if I enable the proposed noreparent option in a shell and run a command, and that command forks, its children won't receive the death signal when the shell dies. It doesn't make any sense. Unless there is a way to make it stick and affect all descendants of the shell process, I don't think this would be very useful as a loadable builtin either. -- Oğuz
