On unix (Linux, Solaris etc.) is it possible to determine how a program
written using Lazarus is being terminated? Specifically, is there any
different behaviour when a kill signal arrives from a routine term
signal, and is a title-bar close button simply a term signal?
I'm trying to think ahead and plan for what a bunch of related (but not
necessarily tightly-coupled) programs do if there's e.g. a UPS shutdown
notification which sends a kill signal. Specifically, if there's a
routine term it is probably appropriate to save the current window
sizes etc. while if there's a kill because the UPS is trying to shut
everything down fast it's probably safest to assume that there's a risk
of multiple programs trying to access common files simultaneously.
