McGovern" Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Can I assume safely that if I am fetch'ing a file across a PPP link, and that link goes down (thereby removing the route, and causing a "No route to host" error message when pinging) that the fetch process will receive a SIGURG? I'm curious, because I'm running some tests that require fetch to die if the link goes down, and I want to try to catch SIGURG, and then "cleanup and exit"(tm). -Brian
