I thought that signal.Reset would reset a signal ignored by signal.Ignore. What happens when you try it? In any case I don't see why your program wants to ignore signals. It seems better to catch the signal, restore the terminal, and exit. Ian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
