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. ...

SIGSET(3)						     Library Functions Manual							 SIGSET(3)

NAME

       sigset, sigaddset, sigdelset, sigemptyset, sigfillset, sigismember - manipulate signal sets

SYNOPSIS

       #include <signal.h>

       int sigaddset(sigset_t *set, int sig)
       int sigdelset(sigset_t *set, int sig)
       int sigemptyset(sigset_t *set)
       int sigfillset(sigset_t *set)
       int sigismember(const sigset_t *set, int sig)

DESCRIPTION

       The  system calls that handle signals, such as sigaction(2) and sigprocmask(2) use sets of signals to keep a process from being interrupted
       by those signals while executing a signal handler or a critical code segment.  These signal sets are manipulated  by  the  following  func-
       tions:

       int sigaddset(sigset_t *set, int sig)
	    Add signal sig to the signal set referenced by set.

       int sigdelset(sigset_t *set, int sig)
	    Remove signal sig from the signal set referenced by set.

       int sigemptyset(sigset_t *set)
	    Initialize the signal set referenced by set to an empty set.

       int sigfillset(sigset_t *set)
	    Initialize the signal set referenced by set to an full set, i.e. all signals are in the set.

       int sigismember(const sigset_t *set, int sig)
	    Return 1 if the signal sig is present in the set referenced by set, 0 otherwise.

SEE ALSO

       sigaction(2), sigpending(2), sigprocmask(2), sigsuspend(2).

DIAGNOSTICS

       All functions except sigismember return 0 on success.  Sigismember returns 0 or 1 on success.  They return -1 with error code EINVAL for an
       invalid signal number.  (They do not use EFAULT for a bad set address, but will simply cause a segmentation violation.)
