   Okay, so you're wanting a change in the behavior of the termination signal   
   handling. That seems different than expecting the use of a file to signal the   
   termination.   
      
   There are many standard signals and BinkD is treating 3 of them the same   
   (SIGBREAK, SIGINT, and SIGTERM). It doesn't seem like it would be hard to   
   change the behavior of one or all of those (or add support for another signal)   
   to terminate in the fashion you're requesting. Without the use of a file.
