    Does the “SIG” stands for “Signal”?

        Eh, it works more than 80% of the time.

          The problem with Sig is they work too oftem, particularly when you don’t want them to

          80% of the time it works every time!

          You’re likely bumping into processes which are blocked by IO or are zombies.

      Special Interest Group. An internal committee convenes to decide the fate of the process.

      (I don’t know the answer, but I’m pretty sure it stands for signal.)

        It’s Secret Intervention Group, but close enough.

      I guess, but would have to look that up too (there are quite a lot of signals starting with SIG, so it would make sense that it is this way)
