Signals

[rksharma]

I have a problem with porting an application to AIX.
On the other unix system if you sent a Kill -14 signal to a process that was in a sleep function the program would interrupt the sleep and continue processing. However on AIX 4.3 it kills the program with the message "Alarm clock".
Can anyone help me with this problem.

Thanking you in anticipation,
Rocky.

Rocky,

Try kill -USR1 PID

If you look at the man page I think there is an example of this. I have used this kill command before to interupt a specific process within an application.

It is certainly worth a try in your case.

Cheers

Paul

Try first listing all signals with [tt]kill -l[/tt] then select from there what you need...
