I'm doing the shell history audit logging using syslog to gather the command history. I'm using this well publicized method using trap and logger:
declare -r REAL_LOGNAME=`/usr/bin/who am i | cut -d" " -f1`
function log2syslog {
declare command
command=`fc -ln -0`
logger -p local1.notice -t bash -i ": $REAL_LOGNAME as $LOGNAME :$command"
}
trap log2syslog DEBUG TERM
The problem is that the trap on DEBUG will catch the next to last command executed (by virtue of the "fc" command) which is not the current command executed. TERM will catch that "next to last" command on exit, thus completing the logging of each command executed during that session.
However, CTL+D doesn't seem to emit a SIGTERM signal. What signal is actually being emitted and can it be trapped? I guess another question would be whether there is a way to trap history after command line execution? Moving to Bash 4.1 isn't possible in our "supported" multi-platform environment
I am writing a bash script where I need standard Input should be saved in a file and should be terminated by passing CTRL+D signal. Any clue how can I do that in bash script.
e.g. Enter one line at a time Press CTRL+D to finish
I want that I click with the mouse on the video, it paused.I notice that there is "BaconVideoWidget" which I guess is the video rendering widget but it don't have signal named "clicked":
I have created a pthread, and installed a signal handler inside that, same way as we do in main( ) function. The thread's signal handler is a separate function. Surprisingly, it is not working, that is the thread's signal handler is not able to catch signals. Here is the code:
I have a Socket library, written in C++, in which the method used to send data never has the opportunity to handle an errno of SIGPIPE. Thus I thought perhaps I should setup a signal handler to receive the signal, but this too is not being called.Is there something that I am missing or doing that is completely wrong? Below is the relevant code. Note that a SIGPIPE signal is generated when the Server is unable to send data to the Client (e.g. the client has terminated).Server code:
Is it possible to connect a signal handler to a variable?So when the variable changes the signal handler is called.I have a vector containing strings which i want to parse when there are one or more available strings in the vector
I have a signal handler in my tool, which is registered and used between some particular interval (i am using timer). Now this signal handler should NOT allow any other handler to be registered or invoked after this handler is once registered. Is there any way to accomplish this?
But unable to catch the SIGTERM signal if I do shutdown, as man pages says shutdown genrates the SIGTERM and SIGKILL signals, but we cant handle the SIGKILL signal. My code is working fine if I genrate the SIGTERM signal by Kill command, and also for SIGINT signgal genrated from the CTRL+c key.
Here is my code:
/* Example of using sigaction() to setup a signal handler with 3 arguments * including siginfo_t. */ #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <signal.h> #include <string.h>
I was trying to program using fork(). The objective of this code is to
1. I am activating a process A - SubSuctionMotors. 2. Process A is going to stop with either of this condition a) Switch is activated - swret=1 b) Time allowed has expired 3. Stop the process A.
[Code]...
1. We purposely force the switch to be inactive to test the child process (timer), whether after 2 seconds the motor stop. It turns out to be successful in first few attempts. After some while, the program hang, nothing is executed anymore and the program is not exit or terminated. What can cause the program to hang?
2. We tried to stop motor by switch activation (if the switch is to be successfully activated, the time it takes will always be shorter than the timer allowed time). However, the program did not seems like noticing the switch has been activated, and it just stop the motor according to timer. Why it behave this way?
I'm just beginning to program with GTK+, and I'm facing this issue: I want to inhibit a signal emission inside one and only one function. I've down cut my code into the smallest example I can to show you what I want to do:The "Emitter" contains a "GtkSpinBox" and it relays the "value-changed" signal, it's header:
I would like to know how do I print the line # in a script. My requirement is, I have a script which is about ~5000 lines long. If there are any errors happen I just exit. And I would like to add the line # of the script where the error happened.
Code: #!/bin/bash trap "echo 'you got me'" SIGINT SIGTERM # to trap ctrl+c echo "Press ctrl+c during 5 sec loop" for ((i=0;i<5;i++)); do
[Code]...
How come code behaves normally and stops when ctrl+c signal is caught and resumes, but after I use at least one timeout read in the code it looks like, if signal is caught again it doesn't pause the execution but skips the loop. If you remove -t (timeout) option from the read, both loops look the same!
Basically I'm intending to write serial RX signal handler.Application receives defined packages of data over serial which contains header and payload. Handler should analyse incoming stream and upon detection of header (header is 6B in length) switches to receive payload of length defined in header, then after receiving full message packs it and sends to application for handling.Problem I'm facing is that at random moments in signal I receive errors that "Resource temporarily unavailable" while reading from ttyOx device and I see that sometimes I miss incoming data.Also is it possible that if while I'm handling signal one more signal arrives and it is started to be handled parallel? If it is, what are the ways to prevent it? So I would be sure that no more signals will fire on same peripheral until I will finish handling what I have on my hands now.
Serial open and init: Code: Select allint open_port(int port_nr) { int fd; /* File descriptor for the port */ switch (port_nr) { case 1: fd = open("/dev/ttyO1", O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY | O_NDELAY); break;
locking mutex (phtread_t type) in a signal handler function (installed by function signal()) for Linux. It seems that if the mutex has been previously locked by another thread outside the signal handler function and then the signal handler function tries to lock it, the whole process hangs.
I'm new to Unix and every signal handler algorithm I've seen is more or less a copy of what I'm trying to do.[URL] designing a signal handler with sigwait in UNIX?
I have a problem with the last point of some homework I have for an OS class. I need the program to print the pid upon execution, then for 10 seconds react to SIGUSR1, SIGUSR2 and SIGTERM. If either USR1 or USR2 is received, the 10 seconds are reset. Some of the functions I'm told to use are alarm(), pause() and signal(). The nicest way I found was to handle SIGUSR1, SIGUSR2 and SIGALRM in the parent process, with SIGALRM killing the child (with a SIGTERM). In the child a pause() (or for(; pause() would be enough for it to be alive until killed from the SIGALRM handler in the parent.
What I found is that I can't just do a wait() in the parent process, waiting for the child to be killed, since whenever the parent receives a SIGUSR1 or SIGUSR2, the right handler is called but the child exits nicely. I tried blocking/ignoring those signals in the child, since the default behaviour for SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 is to terminate the process, but the result is the same. The only way I could do it is using a waitpid() within a do { } while(!WIFSIGNALED(status)) since when the child gets killed with the parent's kill(), it's WIFSIGNALED, whereas when it exits after the parent handles a SIGUSR1/2, it's WIFEXITED.
P.S. What I'm doing to achieve the expected 10s window is calling alarm(10) in the parent process and again within the SIGUSR1/2 handlers. In the SIGALRM handler I kill the child and within the child I simply do a for(; pause()
Now in my bash script, I want to get the output /home/user instead of $HOME once read. So far, I have managed to get the $HOME variable but I can't get it to echo the variable. All I get is the output $HOME.
I have written quite a few separate bash & scripts and php scripts that up to now I have run from cron jobs. However I have to estimate how long each takes to run, before running the next and so it probably takes much longer than necessary to run them all. They have to run in order.
Now there are so many I am thinking it would be better to have a master bash script that would run one after the other, but I am not sure how to get the master script to wait before starting to run the next script. Is this possible and is there a command that will make the script wait between bash and php scripts , for them to finish, before running the next?
I am using an imx27 and have a timer set up for 100 ms and a loop to count the pulses while the timer has not expired. I get about 90 % reliable results but every once in a while i get one that is out to lunch. I am reading in a signal that is about 500khz and counting on an transition. I usually get around 85k count. But i will randomly get a 50k count.
I think it would be better to count the len and remove 3 chars to right to get the extension, but it can be macintosh filenames with have 4 chars for extensions.
In a single main() function,so need signal handling. Use Posix Message Queue IPC mechanism , can ignore the priority and other linked list message,to implement the scenario:

I have a doubt about signals in C programming. I have done this little program to explain it. It creates a child process with fork and, when the child ends, receives the SIGCHLD signal and wait for its termination.Ok, quite easy, BUT when I execute this code the SIGCHLD signal is received twice, first as an error (returns -1) and the second one to finish the child process.I don't understand the meaning of the first received signal. Why is it generated? Is the code wrong? (if you add the SIGINT and press Ctrl+C during the execution it also receives two signals instead of one)
I tried googling but didn't get any answer for this.I have a process called "abc" and it is running with PID "123".I have a putty session opened with PID "999".I am giving kill -TERM 123 from putty session.My process "abc" before dying it should catch the PID of the terminal which provided TERM signal to it.Is there any way to find this out
I have the following requirement in my module. The driver gets some data from the external device. After getting 1MB of data it has to send it to the user space application. What is the best thing to implement for this in driver.? Is it ok to implement like, after getting data, the driver will send a signal to the user space application. Then the user space application sends an ioctl to read the data. Is there any alternate, that the driver directly sends the data without the user space application asks for it.?
I am trying to write a bash script that sources another bash script. Essentially, I need a few lines to check to see if a certain variable is set. If not, I set it manually, and then source a scripts with that variable in the path. I wrote a test script to try it, but for some reason the last line does not work. Here is what I wrote:
#!/bin/sh source ~setupdir/setup.shrc #just a test, this line works echo ${#SETUP} # prints 0 if setup is not set, which it isn't if [ ${#SETUP} -eq 0 ] then SETUP="~setupdir" fi echo $SETUP # prints ~setupdir
i'm in the process of learing C++. currently i'm creating shell scripts to get things done. i'm just curious how, as a programmer using C++ you would get a similar job done.as an example i have a script that takes the contents of files, pipes it to some sed and awk commands, which is piped to create a new file. that file is then imported into a mysql database.if you were going to do this in C++, would you call the sed/awk programs to modify the file, or can it be done within the program itself? i'm probably jumping the gun here because i've just started learing about pointers so this is above my ability
