Comment (by hinder):

 As I remember, it worked when I sent the signal to the mpiexec process
 directly, but not when I sent it to the controlling python (simfactory)
 process (apparently this is correct behaviour; simfactory needs to
 explicitly install a signal handler to catch it).  Since that is the
 process that SLURM would send to, it seemed that there was still more work
 to be done in simfactory before this would be usable as intended.  I
 didn't "review" the code in TerminationTrigger.  I have now added comments
 to the pull request.
