I have a user-space batch job scheduler that could use fork_connector to track which processes belong to a job. It looks perfect for what I need.
I would also like to see a do_exit hook, but only as a convenience. I can probably scrape the BSD accounting files in lieu of a do_exit hook, but if I had one, I wouldn't need to touch disk for my job accounting.
