Hello, [I'm using FreeBSD 2.1-R] I've noticed that some of my processes aren't getting killed when the connection is broken, and I've been trying to figure out why this is. Some of the programs which (sometimes) stay alive include 'vi' and 'irc'... they go into a loop trying to perform I/O on the pty and drive up CPU usage like mad (they don't seem to check the result of their read() calls.) Suppose a remote telnet connection disconnects. Telnetd notices it, calls cleanup(), and exits. How do the shell and the application get notified ? I.e., which process is responsible in sending a SIGHUP to the user's processes ? Thanks in advance, -Ade -------------------------------------------------------------------- Inet: mbarkah@hemi.com - HEMISPHERE ONLINE - www: <http://hemi.com/>; --------------------------------------------------------------------
