- Under certain circumstances, I have discovered, an attempt to send a
- process SIGTSTP -- by either the process itself or by another process
- -- results in it being sent a SIGKILL instead. (This is in SunOS
- 4.1.3.) I have not been able to figure out why this is happening. I
- thought at first it might have had something to do with the fact that
- the process receiving the signal is a session leader, but forking
- another process to serve as session leader didn't change the behavior.
- Nor can I find anything about it in the documentation.
-
- Are there any SunOS wizards listening who can tell me why this is
- happening and how I can prevent it? All leads appreciated --
-
- Thanks!
- Scott
