Hi
We could probably do something with kqueue/EVFILT_SIGNAL:
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=kqueue&sektion=2
EVFILT_SIGNAL Takes the signal number to monitor as the identifier
and returns when the given signal is
delivered to the
process. This coexists with the signal() and
sigaction() facilities, and has a
lower precedence.
The filter will record all attempts
to deliver a sig-
nal to a process, even if the signal
has been marked
as SIG_IGN, except for the SIGCHLD
signal, which, if
ignored, won't be recorded by the
filter. Event
notification happens after normal
signal delivery
processing. data returns the number
of times the
signal has occurred since the last
call to kevent().
This filter automatically sets the
EV_CLEAR flag
internally.
-- kqueue should be supported on all other *BSD and OSX too.
