How did you try actually? I got curious so I took a look myself. Here's what I did: I ran [01:25 PM]wwong ~ $ bash -c "trap 'kill 0;exit' TERM; echo before; ( sleep 45; echo inside ) ; echo after" in a bash session. Associated with it, of course, are two bash processes (the one that executes the entire statement and the one that runs the bits inside the parenthesis (a subshell)) and a sleep process (trimmed output from 'ps auxf') 21226 ? /usr/bin/rxvt -rv 26580 pts/1 \_ bash 24292 pts/1 \_ bash -c trap 'kill 0;exit' TERM; echo before; ( sleep 45; echo inside ) ; 22743 pts/1 \_ bash -c trap 'kill 0;exit' TERM; echo before; ( sleep 45; echo inside 13126 pts/1 \_ sleep 45 Now, I send SIGTERM to the various processes: if I send 'kill -15 13126', as expected, the sleep process would exit, bash would complain that the process terminated, it would display before [bash complaint] inside after if I send 'kill -15 22743', the bash process that does the sleeping part would terminate, leaving an orphaned 'sleep' process. The output on the initial terminal would be before after if I send 'kill -15 24292', the process doesn't react at first. It would exit after the 22743 process completed. So it would display 'before', wait 45 seconds, and then display 'inside' and then stops. W -- I cannot go to school today" Said little Peggy Ann McKay.

My tonsils are as big as rocks, I've counted sixteen chicken pox And there's one more-that's seventeen, And don't you think my face looks green? My leg is cut, my eyes are blue It might be instamatic flu. I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke, I'm sure that my left leg is broke My hip hurts when I move my chin, My belly button's caving in, My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained, My 'pendix pains each time it rains. My toes is cold, my toes are numb, I have a sliver in my thumb. My neck is stiff, my voice is weak, I hardly whisper when I speak. My tongue is filling up my mouth, I think my hair is falling out. My elbow's bent, my spine ain't straight, My temperature is one-o-eight. My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear, There's a hole inside my ear. I have a hangnail, and my heart is - What? What's that? What's that you say? You say today is .......Saturday? Goodbye, I'm going out to play!" Sortir en Pantoufles: up 173 days, 9:53 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
