What is the current philosophy regarding SIGCLD? All the documentation I currently have says that support for it is likely to disappear in some future release and contains warnings to the effect that SIGCLD should no longer be used. As it is the only way that one can "instantaneously" detect the termination of a child process while doing something more importnat than just waiting for it, it would be a real disappointment if SIGCLD were really to disappear.
