I'm experimenting with making kill an sh(1) builtin (*). However, this makes wait_for_pids's output ugly: the kill builtin is too fast and almost always detects the process is still running or a zombie, so the Waiting for PIDS message appears for all daemons. NetBSD does not appear to have this problem as much as they only have KEYWORD: shutdown where it is strictly necessary. Any ideas how to avoid this? One such option would be some sort of modification to pwait(1). (*) Reasons to do this: 1. allow kill %1 2. make sure kill is found before $PATH 3. make kill work even if fork is impossible -- Jilles Tjoelker
