The following source code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <errno.h>
extern int errno;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
signal(SIGINT, SIG_IGN);
signal(SIGTERM, SIG_IGN);
if (!fork())
{
while(1) {
kill(getppid(), SIGTERM);
}
}
}
// End of source
when compiled and ran, makes my 4.7-release box quit EVERY SINGLE PROGRAM
(including boot-time daemons), and go into a fix-it shell.
My question is this: why does this happen? I can't seem to figure it out.
I've worked with many other people about this, and they don't seem to know.
(When you exit the fix-it shell, the computer finishes booting, it's like
going into single-user mode upon boot)
Run this code and see what happens (nothing bad, just wierd).
