Thank you for the contribution. However, drcov already has support for a daemon process killed by its parent using drx_register_soft_kills(), and to extend that to a human-sent signal we would want to use the same underlying mechanism, DR's nudge, which is cross-platform.

Meant to add: we'd want the nudge handler to be extended, and the docs updated to talk about how to send the nudge.

No I did not sign this. I found the tool usefull for a POC and decided to
add some functionality. Because I am doing so as part of my day-to-day work
I will need to run this through the legal department. Anyways, as you have
suggested an alternative way for doing so (the nudge) this is now
meaningless. How about you send me the details of this mechanism if this is
already active or point me in the right direction. If I make code changes
to put this to work, we will find the way to submit the changes.

Cheers, and keep up the good work.

Not sure what else to add: search for nudge in drcov.c to find the relevant functions and look at the aforementioned drx_register_soft_kills() docs and search for nudge in the DR docs: http://dynamorio.org/docs/using.html#sec_comm

Note that we no longer need the CLA to be signed.
