It is necessar= y to have a SIGCHLD signal handler (either directly or via pselect(2)). Due to limitations in libedit's API, the signal handler could not do much m= ore than reap the zombie and register this in the struct job. This does not help much except system administrators that insist on zombies being reaped quick= ly. Things like a proper 'set -b' (notify about job state at any time) would require some way to execute a handler function in a defined environment and= to redraw the pending input. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
