The following is a demonstration of the sigdist.d script.

Here we run sigdist.d, and in another window we kill -9 a sleep process,

# ./sigdist.d

Tracing... Hit Ctrl-C to end.

^C

SENDER RECIPIENT SIG COUNT

sched dtrace 2 1

sched bash 18 1

bash sleep 9 1

sched Xorg 14 55

We can see the signal sent from bash to sleep. We can also see that Xorg

has recieved 55 signal 14s. a "man -s3head signal" may help explain what

signal 14 is (alarm clock).
