I understand than in Linux you can "capture" kill signals, and do actions on them, like clearing out on emergency exit; even bash scripts can do that.
Is this not done, are there dificulties I'm not aware of to do that?
Of course its done - by "Good" programmers. And "not done" by ones who cause the kind of problems we are discussing. "Difficulties"? No more so than anything else - as you point out, it can be done in shell scripts too, so why isn't it done in *EVERY* shell script?
