Interesting. I tried the same test on HPUX, and find that its /bin/sh seems to ignore SIGQUIT but not SIGINT: $ sh /tmp/test.sh ; echo $? before -- typed ^C here 130 $ sh /tmp/test.sh ; echo $? before -- typed ^\ here /tmp/test.sh[4]: 25166 Quit(coredump) sleep failed after 0 $ There is nothing in the shell man page about this :-( That seems to leave us back at square one. How can we ensure an archive or recovery script will fail on being signaled? (Obviously we can't prevent someone from trapping the signal, but it'd be good if the default behavior was this way.) regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
