problem with sigHUP
This is on a current woody system; but I think the problem was introduced
in an upgrade that was part of potato. See below:
root@mcbragg:~# ps eax | fgrep more | cut -c1-80
23483 pts/4 S 0:00 more /etc/passwd
23488 pts/9 S 0:00 fgrep more
root@mcbragg:~# killall -HUP more
root@mcbragg:~# kill -HUP 23483
root@mcbragg:~# ps eax | fgrep more | cut -c1-80
23483 pts/4 S 0:00 more /etc/passwd
26267 pts/9 S 0:00 fgrep more
root@mcbragg:~# killall -USR1 more
That is, I started more /etc/passwd on pts/9,
HUP will not kill it, either using killall or
using kill -HUP pid. Obviously, control-c does
not work either.
Any ideas?
Jim
