I need to handle SIGUSR2 signal in my application to change the state of the application dynamically. I have implemented the signal handler. However the application is able to catch only one SIGUSR2 signal. The second SIGUSR2 signal causes the application to crash. This is happning only with... (3 Replies)

Hi folks
I'm trying to write a signal handler (in c on HPUX) that will catch the child process launched by execl when it's finished so that I can check a compliance file.
The signal handler appears to catch the child process terminating however when the signal handler completes the parent... (3 Replies)

Guys,
I'm doing signal handling in Perl. I'm trying to catch ^C signal inside the script.
There two scripts : one shell script and one perl script.
The shell script calls the perl script.
For e.g. shell script a.sh and perl scipt sig.pl.
Shell script a.sh looks something like this :... (6 Replies)

Hello all,
I am starting to learn signal handling in Linux and have been trying out some simple codes to deal with SIGALRM. The code shown below sets a timer to count down. When the timer is finished a SIGALRM is produced. The handler for the signal just increments a variable called count. This... (7 Replies)

Hello,
i am using the sigaction function to handle the SIGCHLD signal.Is it possible to use a class member function as the handler function (the sa_handler member of the sigaction structure)?
The function's signature is:

longjmp
LONGJMP(3) Linux Programmer's Manual LONGJMP(3) NAME
longjmp, siglongjmp - nonlocal jump to a saved stack context SYNOPSIS
#include <setjmp.h> void longjmp(jmp_buf env, int val); void siglongjmp(sigjmp_buf env, int val); Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)): siglongjmp(): _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 1 || _XOPEN_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE DESCRIPTION
longjmp() and setjmp(3) are useful for dealing with errors and interrupts encountered in a low-level subroutine of a program. longjmp() restores the environment saved by the last call of setjmp(3) with the corresponding env argument. After longjmp() is completed, program execution continues as if the corresponding call of setjmp(3) had just returned the value val. longjmp() cannot cause 0 to be returned. If longjmp() is invoked with a second argument of 0, 1 will be returned instead. siglongjmp() is similar to longjmp() except for the type of its env argument. If, and only if, the sigsetjmp(3) call that set this env used a nonzero savesigs flag, siglongjmp() also restores the signal mask that was saved by sigsetjmp(3). RETURN VALUE
These functions never return. CONFORMING TO
C89, C99, and POSIX.1-2001 specify longjmp(). POSIX.1-2001 specifies siglongjmp(). NOTES
POSIX does not specify whether longjmp() will restore the signal context (see setjmp(3) for some more details). If you want to portably save and restore signal masks, use sigsetjmp(3) and siglongjmp(). The values of automatic variables are unspecified after a call to longjmp() if they meet all the following criteria: o they are local to the function that made the corresponding setjmp(3) call; o their values are changed between the calls to setjmp(3) and longjmp(); and o they are not declared as volatile. Analogous remarks apply for siglongjmp(). longjmp() and siglongjmp() make programs hard to understand and maintain. If possible an alternative should be used. SEE ALSO
