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...

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...

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. ...

Perl::OSType(3perl)					 Perl Programmers Reference Guide				       Perl::OSType(3perl)

NAME

       Perl::OSType - Map Perl operating system names to generic types

VERSION

       version 1.002

SYNOPSIS

	 use Perl::OSType ':all';

	 $current_type = os_type();
	 $other_type = os_type('dragonfly'); # gives 'Unix'

DESCRIPTION

       Modules that provide OS-specific behaviors often need to know if the current operating system matches a more generic type of operating
       systems. For example, 'linux' is a type of 'Unix' operating system and so is 'freebsd'.

       This module provides a mapping between an operating system name as given by $^O and a more generic type.  The initial version is based on
       the OS type mappings provided in Module::Build and ExtUtils::CBuilder.  (Thus, Microsoft operating systems are given the type 'Windows'
       rather than 'Win32'.)

USAGE

       No functions are exported by default. The export tag ":all" will export all functions listed below.

   os_type()
	 $os_type = os_type();
	 $os_type = os_type('MSWin32');

       Returns a single, generic OS type for a given operating system name.  With no arguments, returns the OS type for the current value of $^O.
       If the operating system is not recognized, the function will return the empty string.

   is_os_type()
	 $is_windows = is_os_type('Windows');
	 $is_unix    = is_os_type('Unix', 'dragonfly');

       Given an OS type and OS name, returns true or false if the OS name is of the given type.  As with "os_type", it will use the current
       operating system as a default if no OS name is provided.
