We were seeing failures in Gadget during deploys where a running pod would be doing DL work and get SIGTERM'd by kubernetes. Normally, unixes will only deliver that signal to the parent process, but
execa
takes care to propagate SIGTERMs from the parent to any spawned children. This has the effect of prematurely killing a dl binary client subprocess mid operation. We use graceful shutdown in gadget to allow currently-running operations within our workers to finish, and so to allow that, we don't want these signals propagated.
