Currently we have: Actually I've changed my mind, your code (modulo SIGPIPE issue) is fine, with one change: we should do the emergencyCleanup *first* so if the lyxerr *does* have problems, then we've at least made an effort to save the files ASAP. I think it's fine to do such stuff in signal handlers when we're trying to recover what we can from a fatal situation. regards john
