That's why I pointed it out. One advantage of having looked at nearly every Unix version since V6 in 1977 is that I have a pretty good idea of just how un-universal "every Unix does $x" actually is. :) The "almost every Unix-like manpage known to man(1)" resource at <http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi> can be quite enlightening as well. Kudos to the freebsd project for providing that. And yes, it looks like the linux-flavor unix versions added the notion of "SIGHUP for death of controlling process", but this is consistently absent for BSD-style kernels, which work consistent with V7 Unix (The One True Unix). I wonder why Linus (et. al.) added that? -- Randal L.
