hi,
It seems that when I logout from the console, the background process
doesn't get HUP signal:
{ trap "echo Ignore HUP >>/tmp/trap.out" 1; while sleep 3;do echo
hello >>/tmp/hello.txt;done; }&
And it seems it will become a daemon and run forever until rebooting.
Is this correct? Why it didn't get HUP signal?
Thanks!
Are you running this from a terminal window? Are you possibly setting nohup in your environment.Are you typing the above commands directly? What happens if you place these into a script and run the script in the background?
There are a number of things that can cause a shell script to ignore the HUP signal. I tested this as a script on an Ubuntu laptop, and it behaved the same as yours:
The process remained. So the issue is not that exiting the parent process (GNOME Term) or logging out of GNOME fails to issue a HUP, it is that the process itself ignores the HUP signal since I sent a "kill -HUP <pid>" to the process.
If you simply send the HUP signal, you will see that "Ignore HUP" will appear in /tmp/trap.out".
The signal(1) command is probably the culprit, though the man pages are vague.
