I'm also unclear on why you want to exclude "fix the RPM packaging" as a reasonable solution. It seems likely that some change in that packaging would be necessary anyway, as it wouldn't know today about any signaling method we might choose to adopt. Having said that, I'm not averse to providing a solution if it's robust, not too invasive and doesn't break other use-cases. So far we've not seen a patch that meets those conditions. regards, tom lane
