[comp.os.minix] tty signals

bing@galbp.LBP.HARRIS.COM (Bing Bang) (10/13/87)

when the tty task has to send a signal (SIGINT, SIGQUIT, SIGHUP...), deciding
which process to send the signal to is a real bad kludge. this is caused by
the fact that the kernel does not know which process owns the tty.

i think the easiest way to fix this is to make the tty task send fs a message
telling him what signal and what tty, and let fs (who keeps track of tty owner-
ship) make the KSIG call to mm.

any ideas?
