-
- Grr...well, uh, sort of. I hacked sys2.unx to ignore SIGHUP, and it *does*
- work a bit more reliably, but it's not perfect. I spoke to Ian about that,
- and he replied that "traditional implementations ignore SIGHUP, but there
- are advantages to paying attention to it: you notice a dropped line much
- faster. I'd rather fix any problems related to catching SIGHUP than start
- ignoring it again." But he also says that "if SIGHUP is ignored when uucico
- starts up, it will continue to ignore it..." so perhaps the best solution
- for now is to ignore signals then fire up uucico. I'd rather see it fixed
- in the code, but it will just break again when 1.04 comes out. :(
-
- Traditional uucico ignores everything except signals 15 and 9 (and, of
- course, 14). I *like* that behavior, but that's just me...
