It looks like ee sets up to ignore all signals and errors on IO devices then goes into a tight io loop. I looked at the code and tried a couple shallow changes like restoring SIG_DFL for SIGHUP, SIGTERM and SIGINT in main() but that did not work. The man page shows that ee has not been worked on since 95. I'd recommend moving network users away from ee and onto something else. I like vi and emacs. but others might have a different opinion. chris __ Chris Fedde <chris@fedde.littleton.co.us> 303 773 9134 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
