So you'd like the shell to act on a signal without `consulting' the foreground job?
For only the dedicated traps. For example: trap -b /bin/true USR1
-b here would mean that the foreground job, if any, is to be moved to the background before executing the command. Since the command is not really needed (I only need to move the job to the background), I specified /bin/true as an example, and in my previous example I used "bg" which was not needed too.
