Rsync calls exit_cleanup() upon reception of SIGUSER1. The only exception to this is if it is already inside the exit_cleanup() function. It only sends this signal when a code path causes an abnormal exit condition, and then the signal is only sent to any process IDs that it spawned (as recorded by do_fork()). The generator also uses SIGUSER2 to signal the receiver at the end of the run that it is time to exit (so that both processes exit at the same time). > Can I block it in someway so that my application that repeatedly > calls rsync and rsync itself will run smoothly. I'm not sure what you mean by this. Is this signal being sent to rsync via some other means? ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
