Wow ... thanks for sharing the resolution. There is a great misunderstanding of how Unix shell profiles work. I have seen similar problems several times. (Of course, I've never shot my own foot. No way!)
$HOME/.profile is "sourced", which means it runs within the same process space. Otherwise, it could have no effect on the environment. (A child process in Unix cannot change the environment variables of its parent.) That's not exactly what happened with the 'trap', but related. When the graphical desktops hit, a lot of the profiling elegance was forgotten, so the lack of education is made worse. With care, you can get the vendor profile, a local profile, and the user profile all cleanly applied ... reliably, for any shell, with any login (graphical or textual). It's just that few remember HOW. -- R; <>< Rick Troth Velocity Software http://www.velocitysoftware.com/ On Wed, Dec 14, 2011 at 15:11, Smith, Ann (ISD, IT) <ann.sm...@thehartford.com> wrote: > We found the issue with hung processes was due to code they had put in their > .profile > > > export TERM=vt220 > > #export LANG= > > set -u > > trap "echo 'logout'" 0 > > trap "" 1 2 3 > > export PATH=$PATH:. > > > trap 1 was removed - no longer get hung processes chewing up cpu > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Smith, Ann (ISD, IT) > Sent: Friday, November 18, 2011 9:49 AM > To: 'Linux on 390 Port' > Subject: RE: Porting old application- numeric keypad > > Yes HOD was used with HPUX and will be used with linux on z. > > Now they tell me they had on HPUX and stiil have on z a problem with > processes left by users not terminating out of HOD properly.
