I'd appreciate it if Whistle could test it. I'm not sure this is causing the problem, but it is the only thing I can think of. -Matt :> Anyone know for sure? : :It does not. manpage for signal(3): : : When a process which has installed signal handlers forks, the : child process inherits the signals. All caught signals may be : reset to their default action by a call to the execve(2) function; : ignored signals remain ignored. : :Note that this affects any background program run via "nohup" also. If :you run "nohup program &", don't expect to be able to kill -HUP it :later. This was discussed a little on the mysql mailinglist, when :FreeBSD people noticed that they couldn't kill the server (mysql uses :-QUIT to exit, and nohup blocks HUP and QUIT). : : -Dan Nelson : dnelson@emsphone.com : :To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org :with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message : Matthew Dillon Engineering, HiWay Technologies, Inc. & BEST Internet Communications & God knows what else.
