Yea, it works in Linux but not in Solaris, AIX or any of the "real"
Unices. While I've been mucking around with Linux since 1994 or so (Slackware), I was a production Solaris admin before I worked on production Linux boxes.

Step values can be used in conjunction with ranges. Fol-
lowing a range with ``/<number>'' specifies skips of the
number's value through the range. For example, ``0-23/2''
can be used in the hours field to specify command execu-
tion every other hour (the alternative in the V7 standard
is ``0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22''). Steps are also
permitted after an asterisk, so if you want to say ``every
two hours'', just use ``*/2''.

gsignal
GSIGNAL(3) Linux Programmer's Manual GSIGNAL(3)
NAME
gsignal, ssignal - software signal facility
SYNOPSIS
#include <signal.h>
typedef void (*sighandler_t)(int);
int gsignal(intsignum);
sighandler_t ssignal(int signum, sighandler_t action);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
gsignal(), ssignal(): _SVID_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
Don't use these functions under Linux. Due to a historical mistake, under Linux these functions are aliases for raise(3) and signal(2),
respectively.
Elsewhere, on System V-like systems, these functions implement software signaling, entirely independent of the classical signal(2) and
kill(2) functions. The function ssignal() defines the action to take when the software signal with number signum is raised using the func-
tion gsignal(), and returns the previous such action or SIG_DFL. The function gsignal() does the following: if no action (or the action
SIG_DFL) was specified for signum, then it does nothing and returns 0. If the action SIG_IGN was specified for signum, then it does noth-
ing and returns 1. Otherwise, it resets the action to SIG_DFL and calls the action function with argument signum, and returns the value
returned by that function. The range of possible values signum varies (often 1-15 or 1-17).
CONFORMING TO
These functions are available under AIX, DG/UX, HP-UX, SCO, Solaris, Tru64. They are called obsolete under most of these systems, and are
broken under Linux libc and glibc. Some systems also have gsignal_r() and ssignal_r().
