- I was reading through the Informix-4gl supplement manual which came
- with Informix-4GL v4.1 and I found the following clause (page S-205):
-
- ... You cannot control the processing that occurs when the SIGHUP or
- SIGPIPE interrupt is detected, even though the program catches these
- values.
-
- If I understand this clause correctly then there is no way for me
- to do my own cleanup when I receive SIGHUP ????
-
- If this is correct then I consider this a MAJOR bug because I need to
- be able to detect when users log out (My users are connected through
- an X.25 pad which sends SIGHUPs when the connection is cleared).
-
- If this is true, then is there some way around this "feature" ?
