Okay.

I see, thanks. Then I have another question: Why does test2 below fail
to trap SIGINT when started by test1? It works when I run test2 directly.
test1 (for reference):
### START SCRIPT ###
#!/bin/bash
test2 &
while /bin/true; do
echo test1 sleeping
sleep 5
done
### END SCRIPT ###
test2 (updated):
### START SCRIPT ###
#!/bin/bash
function shutdown {
echo "Shutting down test2..."
exit 0
}
trap shutdown SIGINT
while /bin/true; do
echo test2 sleeping
sleep 5 &
SLEEP_PID=$!
wait $SLEEP_PID
unset SLEEP_PID
done
### END SCRIPT ###
Thanks in advance.

Ingemar
