Subject: Signal handling cross-platform

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Ruby and am coding a program intended to be cross platform-
Windows, Mac, Linux. I'm going to run it as a background process and
wondered whether there is a way to trap an OS signal that the host is
shutting down, allowing Ruby to tidy some things up first.

From what I gather the signal events between OSes are different, so I
fully expect to have to code conditionally, but any advice or pointers
would be greatly received, I've reached the point of Google blindness.
(:

Thx

John
