Thread: [Dev-C++] Tracing the source of kill signal

Hi,

In linux or any unix O.S., is it possible to trace the source of a signal
that cause a process to stop?
I'm thinking of writing a daemon that starts other process and then manage
it.  If that process is stopped by a kill or
whatever signal, I want the monitor daemon detect it.

I've read about ptrace system call but I'm not sure if this will have an
impact on the performance of the process being monitored.

Regards,
Chino
