Proper Handling of SIGINT/SIGQUIT

[claymation]

In researching #70, I ran across Proper Handling of SIGINT/SIGQUIT, which recommends that if a child execed by honcho run exits due to SIGINT, Honcho should kill(SIGINT) itself in order to properly terminate shell scripts that may have invoked Honcho.

It's a fascinating, if long-winded article, but the premise is that the child should determine how to handle SIGINT, and parents (while ignoring SIGINT themselves), should honor the child's decision if it decides to exit by propagating the SIGINT exit status back up the ancestor chain to the shell.

Control-C now is not making the server exit as before :(

I realized, that when I kill the honcho start process with ctrl-c, the children keep on running - this is somehow the other way round than this issue. Is there something to prevent this, and kill all spanned processes?
Thanks!

Any updates on this?

@chaosmail Maybe you're referring to the change in #84. In that change, honcho run will ignore SIGINT, allowing the child to handle that signal as it will. I don't believe that change had any impact on honcho start, however.

This issue (#85) is simply a request for enhancement to follow best practices when a child exits due to SIGINT. It's probably not the issue you're looking for.
