The goal is to get rid of the service thread; the service thread was just there as a placeholder. Once it's gone, signals are appropriate. The realtime signal is just there as a placeholder until we figure out how to squeze this down into SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2.
Hm so you'll have to co-ordinate switching the signal mask between threads as they start up and shut down? I'm not sure that can be done atomically.
