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. ...

raise_default_signal

RAISE_DEFAULT_SIGNAL(3) 				   BSD Library Functions Manual 				   RAISE_DEFAULT_SIGNAL(3)

NAME

     raise_default_signal -- raise the default signal handler

LIBRARY

     System Utilities Library (libutil, -lutil)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <util.h>

     int
     raise_default_signal(int sig);

DESCRIPTION

     The raise_default_signal() function raises the default signal handler for the signal sig.	This function may be used by a user-defined signal
     handler router to ensure that a parent process receives the correct notification of a process termination by a signal.  This can be used to
     avoid a common programming mistake when terminating a process from a custom SIGINT or SIGQUIT signal handler.

     The operations performed are:

	   1.	Block all signals, using sigprocmask(2).

	   2.	Set the signal handler for signal sig to the default signal handler (SIG_DFL).

	   3.	raise(3) signal sig.

	   4.	Unblock signal sig to deliver it.

	   5.	Restore the original signal mask and handler, even if there was a failure.

     See signal(7) for a table of signals and default actions.

     The raise_default_signal() function should be async-signal-safe.

RETURN VALUES

     Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned.  Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate
     the error.

ERRORS

     The raise_default_signal() function may fail and set errno for any of the errors specified for the functions sigemptyset(3), sigfillset(3),
     sigaddset(3), sigprocmask(2), sigaction(2), or raise(3).

SEE ALSO

     sigaction(2), sigprocmask(2), raise(3), signal(7)

HISTORY

     The raise_default_signal() function first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.
