Look up the meanings of SIGINT, SIGQUIT and SIGTERM and add appropriate handlers. Maybe SIGINT should still break immediately.

I will second this ... On my home machine I use SIGINT quite a lot and it would be nice if the mudlib could respond to it. |
|
|
Ah, what was the idea, or let me rephrase: What should the driver do upon receiving SIGINT? |
|
|
Call a driver hook? |
|
|
Im anyway working on the signal handling right now, so I will take this one. SIGKILL can't be handled/caught. On SIGTERM I would argue to handle it just like SIGHUP (controlled shutdown), because in most cases there will be a SIGKILL a few seconds later. We should make a list which other signals we would like to receive in the mudlib. Concerning SIGHUP, SIGUSR2 and SIGUSR2 we might call the driver hook and fall back to our current behaviour if it returns 0 or is not defined. |

I reworked the signal handling between r2872 - r2882 (3.5) and included this. SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 are now deferred to the mudlib master. If it handles them (by returning !=0 in handle_external_signal()), the driver takes not further action, otherwise falls back to the current reaction. SIGTERM is deferred to the mudlib, but can't be handled. After handle_external_signal() returns, the driver begins with a graceful shutdown. |

Ok, improved the handling of SIGTERM+SIGINT in r2922 a bit. I consider this then resolved if noone objects. |
