signals (again)

I see this (or similar) question occasionally looking back through the archive, but haven't yet seen a definitive answer, so I'm going to ask it again. Consider the following: while True: do_something_to_files_in_directory(fd) fcntl(fd, F_NOTFIY, DN_CREATE) signal.pause() How do you

Re: signals (again)

How does that help? I interpret "use asynchronous calls" to mean "use fcntl to set an FN_NOTIFY on the directory in order to be alerted when something needs to be done." But the method of doing that which I outlined above has a critical section in which the incoming signal will not be noticed.

Re: signals (again)

I found a good solution to this problem in Richard Steven's _Network_Programming_. It seems like everything shows up in Steven's books! Rather than pausing, you do a blocking read on a pipe. You only write to the pipe from within the signal handler. However, this brings up the better question:
