SIGKILL isn't overkill, but just wrong. as several of us have mentioned, you can't ever catch KILL as it is defined to be uncatchable. so setting a handler for it is useless code. and the signal given by ^C is usually INT but you can change that with stty to some other char and ^C could deliver another signal. read up on stty, signal, sigaction and related docs. uri -- Uri Guttman ------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------- http://www.stemsystems.com --Perl Consulting, Stem Development, Systems Architecture, Design and Coding- Search or Offer Perl Jobs ---------------------------- http://jobs.perl.org _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
