Description Colin Walters 2020-11-03 17:46:49 UTC

See https://github.com/openshift/cluster-network-operator/pull/859#issuecomment-721273970
I was trying to use `setpriv --pdeathsig`, but the version in RHEL8 was too old.

It's a very handy feature that comes up in shell scripts.

Comment 1 Karel Zak 2020-11-06 12:26:57 UTC

It seems we need to backport upstream commit:

 commit 23f54ce77773aa77f578084f2212b9173827fdc1
 Date:   Tue Apr 10 12:08:21 2018 +0100
 setpriv: implement option to set parent death signal

Comment 3 Colin Walters 2021-12-03 16:05:27 UTC

And here I tried to use it *again* forgetting it's not in RHEL8:
https://github.com/containers/containers-image-proxy-rs/pull/16

In this case though, it was definitely cleaner to use a proper API instead of forking a binary at least.
