RE: Change signal mask after vfork/clone system call

The applications are not buggy. They're just unaware of signals being blocked. It's a common practice to set a signal, but not to reset signal mask unfortunately.

Yes, this is the last resort of course. I was wondering if I'm missing some functionality in Linux allowing me to avoid intermediate executables. It looks like I have to go via a wrapper exe.

Thank you for your comments,
Giga
