Well.. I am not exactly sure if this will work, but I posted a signal
module for Python.. This module (with patches to some of the other system
files) lets you set callbacks and signal handlers for all of the available
signals except SIGKILL... You might be able to do something with this...
If someone can find it on an achive site, I reposted it just a week ago
or so... I know it will be in the next major release of Python if
you can wait that long...
