Unable to execute a function using trap
I have a script A which calls script B. I wrote a function in script A to be executed when Kill command is issued for script A and I invoke that function using the trap command.The function identifies all child process running under script A (in this case script B) and kills the child process and performs some operation lets say it updates database tables and log files.
when i execute the "kill -15 script_A_pid" the function that i wrote in script A does not run. I think its because script B (child process) is running.
When i provide kill -15 script_b_pid then child process is terminated and the function that i wrote in script A gets executed.
I would like to know how to execute the function that i wrote in my script Aeven when my script B is running. I want to allways kill script A which should take care of killing script B.

This is probably a failure in my understanding of trap or of function invocation. I'd really appreciate if someone could explain. This is Solaris 10, but I don't think it matters.

service(8) System Manager's Manual service(8)
NAME
service - run a System V init script
SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]
service --status-all
service --help | -h | --version
DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script in as predictable an environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with the current
working directory set to /.
The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of COMMAND depend on the
invoked script. service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS to the init script unmodified. All scripts should support at least the start and stop
commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start com-
mand.
service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.
EXIT CODES
service calls the init script and returns the status returned by it.
FILES
/etc/init.d
The directory containing System V init scripts.
ENVIRONMENT
LANG, TERM
The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.
SEE ALSO
/etc/init.d/skeleton,
update-rc.d(8),
init(8),
invoke-rc.d(8).
