I once did this to a BSD 4.2 system: added a `stty enq ^T' that would cause a SIGENQ to be sent to the appropriate process group. The signal was ignored by default, and I modified the compiler drivers passes to report pass, filename, linenumber, and number of errors. (I'd just come from a Burroughs B6800 where you could do `?CS' to get the same information, and it seemed like a good idea at the time.) It was actually quite useful, but then compiles took longer in those days. The only problem was that not enough programs supported it. I was going to make the kernel print out some cheap stuff from the proc structure for each process, but never did.
