100% agreed. But... > It uses a lot of neat tricks. ... would you really honestly say that rolling out your own notes forwarder is a *neat* trick? As opposed to be able to use basic system's FS functionality? This not a jab at cpu(1) rather at the design of notes. My personal feeling when going over that bit was: well, that's how UNIX people do signal forwarding (we do something similar for the remote debugging sessions) am I reading the right source file?!?! Thanks, Roman.
