Oh, really?  It works perfectly fine for me on FreeBSD 6.
I can't imagine what the problem could be with simply
installing a handler for SIGTERM (and possibly SIGHUP
and other signals) which sets a flag so the program can
perform a controlled shutdown.  I've done such things in
my own programs a million times, and it works on any
POSIX-compliant system.

Yes, that might be a useful addition.
