Instead of doing the signal thing you should probably call _exit():

       The  function _exit() terminates the calling process "immediately". Any
       open file descriptors belonging to the process are closed; any children
       of the process are inherited by process 1, init, and the processâs par-
       ent is sent a SIGCHLD signal.

       The function _exit() is like exit(), but does not  call  any  functions
       registered with atexit() or on_exit().  ...
