Here is the complete list of SunOS signals (as reported by "kill -l"),
with possible uses for each. Some I'm discounting as "not useful"
(for Perl programs), but it ain't necessarily so...
=over 4
=item HUP
Prodding daemons, dealing with loss of interactivity
=item INT, QUIT, TERM (#15, presented out of sequence!)
Exiting nicely
=item ILL, TRAP, ABRT, EMT, FPE, KILL, BUS, SEGV, SYS
Not useful in Perl
=item PIPE
I/O
=item ALRM, VTALRM? (#28, presented out of sequence)
Alarm, discussed in other messages
=item USR1, USR2
Prodding
=item CHLD
Child process reaping
=item LOST
Power fail? (Can anything be made of this?)
=item WINCH
curses programs (though curses can handle *some* of the
reconfiguration issues)
=item URG, IO
I/O
=item STOP, TSTP, CONT, TTIN, TTOU, PROF, XCPU, XFSZ, WAITING, LWP
Not useful in Perl.
TSTP might be useful in curses programs, though terminal resetting can
be achieved by the library itself.
=back
I can see these issues from the list:
=over 4
=item I/O
=item Prodding daemons
=item Process management
=item Exit cleanups
=item Text-window cleanups (also related to above)
=item Timers
=back
