ure, you want to send a signal that doesn't have any app-specific
effect, but the signal handler could be registered differently as well,
so don't expect too much.

get a syscall trace first, use truss under solaris

truss -l -o output ices your-ices.xml

then send the USR1 signal causing ices to exit.

That will show the app to OS communication. Send me the output file
first to verify it's operation.
