Full Discussion: SIGTERM failing in AIX
Operating Systems AIX SIGTERM failing in AIX Post 302998800 by jim mcnamara on Wednesday 7th of June 2017 02:53:13 PM

As far as I am aware there is no problem with SIGTERM on AIX compared to any other other standards compliant UNIX. Any signal can optionally be blocked, except SIGSTOP and SIGKILL.

There has to be a login/startup/setup script that is blocking SIGTERM. I don't have magic suggestions. But what you describe is not standard out of the box behavior.

I would start by checking the usual suspects like profile scripts and login scripts.
Other regulars here on the forums have a lot of detailed AIX knowledge, hopefully they have an explanation or a strategy to help.
