Hi folks,
I have a little script that uses the perl SGI::FAM module to
monitor a few files. It works fine under either fam or gamin, but
with gamin there's one peculiarity.
The script has a signal handler that traps SIGUSR1. When I
use the script on a computer with fam installed, and send the script
a USR1 signal, the signal handler is immediately called. But when
I do the same thing on a machine with gamin, the signal handler isn't
called until the next fam event. (I should say that the script is
basically just a loop that blocks on a $fam->next_event.)
Any idea why this happens?
Thanks,
Bryan
