Paul Joseph Davis commented on COUCHDB-370:
-------------------------------------------
Is it possible to make couchspawnkillable watch for the parent process death
without introducing a new process into the mix? The *nix variant is a simple
shell script that exec's and I'd be a tad remiss to make it more complicated.
It also seems awfully recursive otherwise. Not to mention that we'd be doubling
the number of OS level processes used.
My vote would still be for using heart if possible.
