hi
i'm new to php so excuse me if the question sounds stupid
i have a main program that creates a few children (using Parallel::ForkManager)
what i want to do is detect when someone uses ^C (or any other way to interrupt the program, but i know ^C will be used more, that's why i focus on it)
so i read the perlman:perlipc, and now i use this line

 $SIG{INT} = \&catch_zap;

(along with the catch_zap function)
it works fine as long as children aren't running. When the children are here, i can press ^C and nothing happens - as long as they aren't finished

do i miss something really obvious here ? is there a way to catch an interrupt sinal anywhere in the code, even if i fork ?
thanx for any wanswer ... i'm stuck !

In reply to children don't see ^C ?? by iza
