Re^3: Gracefull Death of a Child: How to Catch Mum's SIGNALS?

oh ok! ~~re "use sigtrap makes no difference" - well it wouldn't unless you define a handler for the signal being sent.~~

Update: what about using Thread::Queue to send and receive homegrown "signals" - that way at least you have some guarantee of thread safety.

Moron, I did that! The problem is nothing arrives 'in' Darling! Even the example that comes with threads: pool.pl tries to 'fake' the signals by defining its own threaded variable $TERM which is set by Mums SIG-handler. BUT in the childs this $TERM has to be checked ALL THE TIME, otherwise the childs were allready killed before they had a chance to perform their gracefull death.. sighing Carl	[reply]
