I have no idea what the relevence of DGPickett's post is.
The ctrl/z is being picked up by shell before it gets to your program. In foreground ctrl/z is commonly mapped to SUSP (suspend). The program can be brought to foreground with the "fg" Shell command.
To see the mapping of the various control keys in your session:
Each and every one of these can (and often will) be disabled or changed to suit individual terminals or applications. See "man stty" for your O/S.
Many people re-map INTR to ctrl/c for consistency with MSDOS but on many terminals it is not mapped to anything by default.
Hi,
when I execute a script on unix AIX, I've got an error message:
"Execution: 85328 Signal d'alarme".
If I edit this file with "vi", I ve got the same error after a while (about 1 minute).
If I try with another user I still have the problem.
But if I rename this file, no problem.

Hi everyone,
Is there a variable or built in function in the Unix env. for me to obtain the name of a signal that is caught? As far as I understand only a numeric value of the signal is returned to the handler.
For example:
void handler (int signum)

Hello e'bdy,
We have WebSphere MQ running on AIX 5.1
Every weekend MQ receives a kill -30 signal from some process or user and offloads a big error file. There is no way in MQ through which that process can be tracked.
Is there something which i can do on UNIX level to trap the process?

Hello,
I'm doing a project of OS simulation (Process Scheduling, to be very specific). Can anyone, please, explain what exactly happens in the background when we see "Sending all processes the KILL signal...........". How is it sent to each process? Is it that something like a boolean is stored... (3 Replies)
Who can explain the meaning of the &2 &1 or @, #, etc in the script?
Is there any document which can explain the usage of these words in details?

#@
bash, ksh and sh.
Thanks in advance for ur advice. (1 Reply)

Hi!
I want to catch all signals that my program receives print their name and then execute the default handler.
Can you help me on that?

A program have to receive signals and work agreed with it, but the process have to receive more than one signal when it is attending other. Those have to be queued to be attended later recived.
how can i do that?
thanks. (2 Replies)

sigpause
sigpause(3C)sigpause(3C)NAME
sigpause - signal management
SYNOPSIS
Obsolescent
DESCRIPTION
The function, along with the and functions provide simplified signal management.
The function removes sig from the calling thread's signal mask and suspends the calling thread until a signal is received. The function
restores the thread's signal mask to its original state before returning.
RETURN VALUE
The function suspends execution of the thread until a signal is received, whereupon it shall return and set to
ERRORS
[EINVAL] sig is not a valid signal number.
WARNINGS
The compiler option must be set to use sigpause(). The use of the function without the option is unspecified.
should not be used in conjunction with signal(2) and sigspace(2).
OBSOLESCENT FUNCTION
will be obsoleted in the near future. The obsolescent function blocks signals according to the value of mask, then atomically waits for an
unmasked signal to arrive. On return, restores the current signal mask to the value that existed before the call. When no signals are to
be blocked, a value of is used for mask.
terminates when it is interrupted by a signal. When terminates, it returns -l and sets to
The obsolescent function is typically used in conjunction with the obsoleted function.
Threads Considerations
Since blocked signal masks are maintained at the thread level, the obsolescent function modifies only the calling thread's blocked signal
mask. suspends only the calling thread until it receives a signal.
If other threads in the process do not block the signal, the signal may be delivered to another thread in the process and the thread in may
continue waiting. For this reason, the use of sigwait(2) is recommended instead of for multi-threaded applications.
For more information regarding signals and threads, refer to signal(5).
LP64 Programs
This obsolescent accepts a long (64 bit) value. However, as for ILP32 programs, supports signals numbered 1 through 32. The upper 32 bits
of the mask argument are ignored.
