2006 i686 pentium4 i386 GNU/Linux
Machine Type: i586-pc-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 3.1
Patch Level: 17
Release Status: release
Description:
The info file says "Trapped signals are reset to their original
values in a child process when it is created." but this is not
true for me with crond and smartd for the SIGTERM signal.
Repeat-By:
crond is Dillon's cron with many patches; I get the same
problem with smartmontools' smartd daemon. Source for
our crond package if you need to see the source code
is in:
http://www.buraphalinux.org/download/bls1.0/sourcecd/source/1/base/dcron
#!/sbin/bash
# this launches a crond that will NOT get the SIGTERM
# from killall crond and does not shutdown
trap '' TERM
/usr/sbin/crond -l8
exit 0
#!/sbin/bash
# this launches a crond that will get the SIGTERM
# from killall crond and shutdown
doit() {
trap - TERM
/usr/sbin/crond -l8
trap '' TERM
}
trap '' TERM
doit
exit 0
Fix:
Remove that sentence from the documentation? Maybe
add a description in the same place in the info file
of what 'set -o ???' needed to control whether signals
get inherited or not?
