Greetings, I need someone to hit me with a clue-stick here. I was trying to get a status of ping(1) using ^T but it appeared not to be sending a SIGINFO command. Reading through the man pages I see that stty(1) defines this behaviour, and sure enough...
# stty -a speed 9600 baud; 24 rows; 80 columns; lflags: icanon isig iexten echo echoe -echok echoke -echonl echoctl -echoprt -altwerase -noflsh -tostop -flusho pendin -nokerninfo -extproc -xcase iflags: -istrip icrnl -inlcr -igncr -iuclc ixon -ixoff ixany imaxbel -ignbrk brkint -inpck -ignpar -parmrk oflags: opost onlcr -ocrnl -onocr -onlret -olcuc oxtabs -onoeot cflags: cread cs8 -parenb -parodd hupcl -clocal -cstopb -crtscts -mdmbuf cchars: discard = ^O; dsusp = ^Y; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>; eol2 = <undef>; erase = ^?; intr = ^C; kill = ^U; lnext = ^V; min = 1; quit = ^\; reprint = ^R; start = ^Q; status = <undef>; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; time = 0; werase = ^W; Yep, status is not bound to ^T My question is where in the boot or logon process is stty(1) executed, or more to the point, why is my system not configured with the default behaviour?
