Hi,
I am writing a simple perl script that will catch
kill signal. I am able to catch the signal sent within
the script. However, if I kill the process in a shell
using "kill -9 PID", the handler does not catch it.
Can someone help me? Here is my code snippet.
==========Handler =================================
$SIG{TERM}=\&signal_handler_TERM;
sub signal_handler_TERM{
$SIG{TERM} =\&signal_handler_TERM;
print "---------Catching Term signal, Cleaning
up--------\n";
exit(1);
}
===================================================
In perl script, if i use kill function as this
"kill TERM => PID;"
It works fine. However, if I issue kill signal from
shell like this "kill -9 PID", PID is killed but
signal is not caught by signal_handler_TERM.
Thanks in advance.
