Here's a few ideas:
- Append log messages to a file that can, in turn, be tailed by other
processes.
- Send messages to other processes using a Unix datagram socket.
Or write to a pipe (yeah, I know, SIGPIPE handling, but that's not as
hard as SIGCLD handling!).
- Log lease events via syslog (not reliable, yes, but what the hell).
