[Asterisk-Dev] Why use SIGABRT to kill mpg123 procs in res_musiconhold?

[Sam Bingner]

I did some research on this, it seems that SIGKILL will work.  SIGTERM
still leaves zombie children around.  I sumbitted a patch on bugtracker.

I used SIGABRT because it worked better at killing off the child processes
than SIGTERM did.  Other signals were trapped by * somehow, if SIGTERM
works fine now and doesn't leave zombie mpg123's around, something may
have changed... Or I may have been smoking crack when I made that patch ;)

SIGTERM works fine here. Thanks for the help.
