Signals

Can anyone say what the player application's behaviours are for:

- SIGHUP
- SIGINT
- SIGQUIT
- SIGKILL
- SIGTERM
- SIGALRM
- SIGUSR1 & 2
- SIGPWR

Additionally, are the behaviours set for BSD (self-recovering), or LINUX (defaulting) mode of operation?

AFAICS, the player exits at all signals.
It acknowledges the signal by printing the signal number :

Abnormal player termination

Player received signal xx

Additionally, are the behaviours set for BSD (self-recovering), or LINUX (defaulting) mode of operation?

It seems the player app handles all signals as termination. Maybe that's a feature that's caused by the realtime scheduling.

No, unforch that means there's no signal handlers installed and the signals are carrying out default BSD behaviour (KILL). Damn
