The last thing config_console does is to wait for the console PID file
modification time to change. If config_console is run as show_console, the
console program is not being restarted and will not write the pid file (so
show_console hangs for 10 seconds before it gives up). In this case the
program should exit instead of waiting for the pid file to change.
This statement should be inserted between the kill and the loop on stat()
calls near the end of config_console.c:
if (sig != SIGHUP)
exit (0);
