"trap ... INT TERM EXIT" really necessary?

view story
linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – Many examples for trap use trap ... INT TERM EXIT for cleanup tasks. But is it really necessary to list all the three sigspecs? The manual says: If a SIGNAL_SPEC is EXIT (0) ARG is executed on exit from the shell. which I believe applies whether the script finished normally or it finished because it received SIGINT or SIGTERM. An experiment also confirms my belief: $ cat ./trap-exit #!/bin/bash trap 'echo TRAP' EXIT sleep 3 $ ./trap-exit & sleep 1; kill -INT %1 [1] 759 TRAP [1]+ Interrupt ./trap-exit $ ./trap-exit & sleep 1; kill -TERM %1 [1] 773 TRAP [1]+ Termi (HowTos)

trap scope question 35 weeks 5 days ago

Hi all

I have a script that listens on a named pipe.

I'm trying to create some error reporting using a Trap to call a function on all errors:

Trap "_func" ERR

Is it possible to get what line the ERR signal was sent from?

Solaris: what's a kernel trap? 48 weeks 4 days ago

I'm trying to understand whether the high trap count reported by top on Solaris 10

Kernel: 1659 ctxsw, 1069 trap, 4433 intr, 3837 syscall, 5 fork Memory: 8192M phys mem, 299M free mem, 4103M total swap, 3236M free swap

is a problem or not.

Googling for kernel traps mainly returns large documents on kernel architecture; cliff notes would be much appreciated.

Thanks

PS. Never mind the swapping

I am having a agent that monitors windows event log and look for service up/down messages and send these messages as trap to zenoss. the agent is set to be run in windows scheduler. The agent is deployed in client device. how can i monitor the agent from zenoss and see whether trap is recived at zenoss at regular intervals. Any ideas??

my problem is about Ip Address which I am receiving on the windows system snmp-trap messages,is some thing like that UDP: [192.168.1.150]:1029->[0.0.0.0]:0

while same trap message on linux system has been displayed as

UDP: [192.168.1.150]:1030->[192.168.1.23]

Now,if you observed carefully these two ,its clearly shown that server ip is not coming in windows traps-Ip([0.0.0.0]:0).what woul

Error: trap stack segment 1 year 18 weeks ago

What does the Linux kernel error message "trap stack segment" mean? What might cause this behaviour, and how can I fix it? It appears in a piece of software that runs fine on 20 other machines here, but shows up on one. Kernel version is 3.1.0.

I know that you can use this to start a process in the background, without getting the notification when the process is put in the background and when it is done like so:

(command &) &> /dev/null

However this removes the option to trap when the process finishes (trap child_done CHLD).

How can I have both?
