SignalHandler Plugin
====================

[](#signalhandler-plugin)

The **SignalHandler** plugin provides cross-platform signal handling for CakePHP console commands with the following features:

- Cross-platform signal handling (Linux, Windows, macOS)
- Graceful command termination with Ctrl+C and other signals
- Zero external dependencies - pure CakePHP implementation
- CakePHP event system integration
- Automatic signal handler registration and cleanup
- Support for long-running commands and infinite loops
- React event loop integration support

The plugin is designed to provide signal handling capabilities following 2 approaches:

- Quick drop-in solution for existing commands. Add signal handling in minutes.
- Extensible solution for custom signal handling. You can extend:
    - SignalableCommandInterface for custom signal handling
    - SignalHandlerTrait for callback based signal handling
    - Custom signal event listeners
    - Platform-specific signal handlers

The plugin integrates seamlessly with CakePHP's console system and maintains zero external dependencies.
