As it happens, there's also SIGSTOP and SIGCONT. The responsibility to write the app correctly is always going to fall on the app developer. It's just that for phone apps, it's a lot more obvious that you need to. But it doesn't have to be that way, and frameworks to facilitate writing apps like this would be a totally userland proposition, just using traditional Unix signals that are rarely used today.

- fusiongyro 14y agoThere's no way to know a priori without introducing some pretty onerous restrictions.
