Indeed, this is very good material to understand. As a minor point in the interest of complete treatment, I add the nohup nohup construct; e.g., ( while : ; do sleep 60 ; echo awake `date` ; done &>/dev/null & ) which has the same effect as the nohup command. Try inserting " trap 'echo HUP' HUP ; " before the 'while' and redirecting to something like /tmp/$$.log instead of /dev/null to see if it actually receives SIGHUP signals via kill -1 <PID of sh> commands. -- <not cent from sell> May the LORD God bless you exceedingly abundantly!
