Re^2: Get parent process to handle signals for its children?

in thread Get parent process to handle signals for its children?

That's certainly a good approach that gets me 90% of what I want. I'd still like to know whether the parent can handle signals for its children. It would also be nice to get more specific information than just system(foo) != 0; it would be nice to know that system() died when it handled a SIGINT. Is that doable?

The value returned by system is composed of three fields. The exit value of the subprocess is `$rv >> 8`, `$rv & 127` gives the signal (if any) from which the process died, and `$rv & 128` reports whether or not there was a core dump.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
