   Hi Nick!   
      
   18 Jan 2021 06:56, from Nick Andre -> Oli:   
      
    NA> If the goalposts don't get moved after that, then we go back to the   
    NA> strawman game of "Its open source, add the feature yourself".   
      
   It is quit simple, you have an idea that you like, or a feature that you think   
   is useful.   
   You either "sell" it to someone that says, hey that is useful, I will   
   implement it, or implement it yourself, or pay somebody to implement it, or   
   live without it.   
      
   I would tell you more about signal handling in Windows.   
   Except I have no clue of it.   
      
   Google says this, but I guess it is not very helpful:   
   https://www.bsc.es/support/LSF/old-9.1.1/lsf_programmer/index.ht   
   ?signals_windows_lsf.html~main   
      
   So sorry ... I cannot help you.   
      
   And I assume the number of people working on the BinkD Source here is quite   
   small, and the number of people not busy with other tasks is even smaller.   
      
   I think you can have perl hooks in binkd.   
   But it might be that those can only be used to react to incoming files.   
   Never used them ... but it might be worth looking into it.   
      
   It might be that the Linux subsystem of windows has a signal implementation.   
   But the first google serach hints that the Microsoft implementation is buggy:

   ... I have an electric knife. The turkey is unarmed. I will eventually win.
