| Description | Defer signal handling to until intialised |
| Date | March 27, 1998 |
| Patch Details | This patch add extra stability to jBASE when the process is initialising. When we now get the following signals, then if we are still in the process of initialising jBASE, we defer processing of the signal until we have fully initialised jBASE. Before this patch we could get all sorts of unwelcome problems, such as segementation violations. SIGHUP User has hung up (except for DGUX systems ;-) ) SIGTERM Terminate this process, usually operator driven. SIGPIPE The input or output pipe has disappeared. SIGUSR1 Sent by the jPML demon sometimes. SIGPROF jBASE profiling SIGINT Interrupt from keyboard. Other signals such as SIGSEGV are still handled immediately. |
