I have a program which is supposed to handle SIGINT and gracefully shut down. When I run this program from a terminal without backgrounding it I can shut it down just fine using Ctrl+cCtrl-C. Inspecting the logs shows that everything worked as expected.
When I open a separate terminal and call kill -2 [pid] or kill -s INT [pid] it does nothing. I see nothing in the logs and the program continues to run as usual until I hit Ctrl+cCtrl-C in the terminal I launched it from.
Are there any differences between how Ctrl+cCtrl-C sends the signal and how kill does?
Additional Details:
The program in question is a Java application launched by a bash shell script which sets up some environment variables (namely CLASSPATH) and then calls java [main class]. Hitting Ctrl-Z and then running ps results in the following:
$ ps -f UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD mdeck 10251 10250 0 11:48 pts/2 00:00:00 -bash mdeck 13405 10251 0 18:12 pts/2 00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/local/bin/myapp.sh mdeck 13509 13405 25 18:12 pts/2 00:00:03 java com.company.MyApp mdeck 13526 10251 0 18:13 pts/2 00:00:00 ps -f The output of stty as requested by Gilles is below:
