Is using a signal the appropriate thing to do anyway?
Wouldn't there be better solutions?
Perhaps a mechanism a user space program can use to communicate to the kernel
(ala arpd/kerneld message queues, or something like klogd). Then a more
general user space tool could be used that would do policy appropriate
stuff, ending with init 0.
