A good small example! I do not understand the problem but I do have a question about one of the lines in it and a comment about another. > trap "kill $?; exit 0" INT TERM What did you intend with "kill $?; exit 0"? Did you mean "kill $$" instead? > local text="$(date +'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') $(hostname -s) $1" Note that GNU date can use "+%F %T" as a shortcut for "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S". It is useful to save typing. And lastly I will comment that you are doing quite a bit inside of an interrupt routine. Typically in a C program it is not safe to perform any operation that may call malloc() within an interupt service routine since malloc isn't reentrant. Bash is a C program and I assume the same restriction would apply. Bob
