I'm running ntpd through Python. How do I check the process signal mask? I did some quick searches and it seems Python does not support sigprocmask(). In my searches I came across this link: http://bugs.python.org/msg61870 I think you might be right that this is related to the signal mask. In my scenario the select call is hanging indefinitely, just like discussed in this article. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
