With this you have 5 process in total.
Did you mean 4 process apart from the base process?

Did you mean level-1 child or the level-2 child?

This is stating that child exit status is not taken care/handled by the parent process.
Would you mind to show your code / atleast the snippet?
i wrote handler for sigsegv such that i can allocate memory for a variable to which
sigsegv generated for illlegal acces of memory.
my code is
#include <signal.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>
char *j;
void segv_handler(int dummy)
{
j=(char *)malloc(10);

Hi,
I have a main loop which calls a sub loop, which finally returns to the main loop itself. The main loop runs when a flag is set. Now, I have a signal handler for SIGINT, which resets the flag and thus stops the main loop. Suppose I send SIGINT while the program is in subloop, I get an error... (1 Reply)
Hello all,
I am starting to learn signal handling in Linux and have been trying out some simple codes to deal with SIGALRM. The code shown below sets a timer to count down. When the timer is finished a SIGALRM is produced. The handler for the signal just increments a variable called count. This... (7 Replies)
Guys,
I'm doing signal handling in Perl. I'm trying to catch ^C signal inside the script.
There two scripts : one shell script and one perl script.
The shell script calls the perl script.
For e.g. shell script a.sh and perl scipt sig.pl.
Shell script a.sh looks something like this :... (6 Replies)
Hi folks
I'm trying to write a signal handler (in c on HPUX) that will catch the child process launched by execl when it's finished so that I can check a compliance file.
The signal handler appears to catch the child process terminating however when the signal handler completes the parent... (3 Replies)

However the application is able to catch only one SIGUSR2 signal. The second SIGUSR2 signal causes the application to crash. This is happning only with... (3 Replies)
