The process might get a TERM signal on a reboot so set up a handler for that as well. `$SIG{TERM} = ...` Cheers, JohnGG	[reply] [d/l]

BTW, this will only get ctrl c it wont do a server reboot. Most (all?) Unix OSs will send a TERM signal to every process running when shutting down, and a KILL one if they do not terminate after a while.	[reply]

Please set `$SIG{INT} = 'IGNORE';` [download] as the first thing in your handler, or else the sub will recurse the first time someone presses ctrl-C while in this sub. And, Like you remarked yourself, you still have to actually exit or die at the of the sub, or it'll just resume where it left off, afterwards.	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks, I used the signal handlers. Also the autoflush negated the need to open and close the file each iteration.	[reply]
