Oh thats nothing to wonder about: The shell has to fiddle with the terminal settings (raw/cooked) to allow line (advanced) editing. Normally the terminal settings get saved and restored on shell exit ... but if Denys closes stdio on alarm, that restore of the settings get lost ...
... hey Denys, could you try to close only stdin on alarm and do the terminal restore on stdout/stderr instead? ... just as a hint for a possible solution. -- Harald _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
