More AIX weirdness (see my previous posting on CD and open):
It appears that my AIX system has a problem with signals (and this may
relate to the lack of delta CD progress).
If I have
trap "echo trapped 2" 2
on one **physical** terminal,
and issue
kill -2 pid
as super-user from another terminal ("pid" is replaced with the appropriate
process-id),
NOTHING HAPPENS. I press ENTER on the terminal "killed" and I get a
new prompt. If I enter
echo "foo"
on the "killed" terminal, my output is
foo
trapped 2
It looks to me like I have a problem with signals not getting processed
because they are waiting on something. Could this be caused by
insufficient swap space? (I installed with the defaults. I have 8M of
RAM. I have only 2 logins active at this time.)
Does EVERYONE have problems like mine with AIX, or am I totally
f***ing this system up? (I never had problems like this with my
SYS V on a 3b2!)
(Bear with me...sooner or later I'll get this thing installed and quit
asking for help...I hope!)
