shell script signal handler

AIX 4.3.3 I am trying to write a signal handler into a ksh shell script. I would like to capture the SIGTERM, SIGINT, and the SIGTSTP signals, print out a message to the terminal, and continue executing the script. I have found a way to block the signals: #! /bin/ksh SIGTERM=15 SIGINT=2...

signal handler for SIGCHLD

Hi, I have an c++ application which uses the function fork and execvp(). The parent does not wait until the child ends. The parents just creates children and let them do their stuff. You can see the parent program as a batch-manager. I have added a SIGCHLD handler to the program: void...

signal handler problems

Hey guys, I am trying to write a little shell, and was writing a signal handler to handle SIGINT (I am using 'stty intr ^C' and using ctrl-C to give SIGINT). I wrote this signal handler: void handle_sigint() { write(2,"handling sigint\n",16); write(1,"\nshell% ",8); } ...

Runaway SIGALRM signal handler

I have written a program to demonstrate a problem I have encountered when using BSD style asynchronous input using the O_ASYNC flag in conjunction with a real time interval timer sending regular SIGALRM signals to the program. The SIGIO handler obeys all safe practices, using only an atomic update...

Usage of exit() inside a signal handler

Is it ok to use exit() inside a signal handler? I catch SIGUSR1 in a signal handler and I try to close a file and then exit. The result is inconsistent. Sometimes the process exit and sometimes it returns to the original state before the signal handler was invoked. Perhaps exit is not legal in...

Problem with signal handler and interrupted system call

Hi, I have a daq program that runs in an infinite loop until it receives SIGINT. A handler catches the signal and sets a flag to stop the while loop. After the loop some things have to be cleaned up. The problem is that I want my main while loop to wait until the next full second begins, to...

Perl - Problems with Signal Handler

I have a problem with signal handlers not working. I have a long 1000 line code and somehow this code for signal handling is not working: $SIG{INT} = \&interrupt; sub interrupt { print STDERR "Caught a control c!\n"; exit; # or just about anything else you'd want to do } Any...

Perl Signal Handler

I was working on some Perl code that does signal handling and I came across this one liner and wasn't sure what it was doing. local $SIG{__DIE__} = sub {$! = 2; die $_;}; I think the first part of the anonymous subroutine is setting $! to 2, but I am not sure what the second part is doing. ...

sigsetops(3)						     Library Functions Manual						      sigsetops(3)

Name
       sigemptyset, sigfillset, sigaddset, sigdelset, sigismember - manipulate signal sets (POSIX)

Syntax
       #include <signal.h>

       int sigemptyset(set)
       sigset_t *set;

       int sigfillset (set)
       sigset_t *set;

       int sigaddset(set,sig)
       sigset_t *set;
       int sig;

       int sigdelset(set,sig)
       sigset_t *set;
       int sig;

       int sigismember(set,sig)
       sigset_t *set;
       int sig;

Description
       The functions manipulate signal sets used by the other POSIX signal functions

       The function initializes the signal set pointed to by the argument set so that all signals are excluded.

       The function initializes the signal set pointed to by the argument set so that all signals are included.

       The  and functions respectively add and delete the individual signal specified by the value of the argument sig from the signal set pointed
       to by the argument set.

       The function tests whether the signal specified by the value of the argument sig is a member of the set pointed to by the argument set.

Return Values
       Upon successful completion, the function returns a value of 1 if the specified signal is a member of the set.  If it is not a member of the
       set, a value of 0 is returned.

       If the or functions fail a -1 value is returned and errno is set to indicate the reason.

Diagnostics
       The function will fail and the signal mask will remain unchanged if one of the following occur:

       [EINVAL]       The value of the sig argument is not a valid signal number
